Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Indonesian adults bluish black with pale bluish grey tail. Blue scribbles and spots show intermittently when displaying (Ref. 48636).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in various coral reef habitats from estuaries to outer reef lagoons to about 20 m depth, but usually more common on shallow reef flat at the 6 m mark (Ref. 9710, 48636). Cryptic usually on corals and sponges of isolated outcrops (Ref. 90102). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

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

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.3 - 29.3, mean 28.7 °C (based on 1295 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00335 - 0.01640), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items.
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 = 140 [68, 238] mg/100g; Iron = 0.821 [0.469, 1.440] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [16.6, 18.9] %; Omega3 = 0.0864 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 27.8 [12.9, 62.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 105 [26, 445] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.5 [1.6, 3.6] mg/100g (wet weight);
