Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7-10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7 - 10. Characterized by semi-transparent upper body and brownish on lower; body with few evident dark bars; 3-6 lowermost pectoral rays unbranched and thickened; longitudinal scale series 26-58; cup-like pelvic fins with pocket-like thickened, folded and lobed frenum; opening of gill reaching ventrally to below base of pectoral fin (Ref. 90102).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Lives exclusively on Cirripathes anguina found along current-swept drop-offs or backreefs (Ref. 48637). Benthic (Ref. 58302). Occurs in pairs, occasionally with juvenile or a smaller female, Ref. 48637. Also found on seaward and lagoon reefs in 3-45 m (Ref 90102). Feeds on zooplanktons (Ref. 89972).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Benthic spawner. Bi-directional sex change may occur as suggested by a monogamous mating system and bisexual gonadal phase (Ref. 103751).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.8 - 29.1, mean 27.7 °C (based on 550 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 299 [125, 704] mg/100g; Iron = 1.22 [0.55, 2.55] mg/100g; Protein = 17.7 [15.6, 19.5] %; Omega3 = 0.111 [0.042, 0.260] g/100g; Selenium = 30.4 [11.1, 81.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 136 [32, 561] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.26 [1.94, 5.18] mg/100g (wet weight);
