Maturity: Lm ?, range 3 - ? cm

Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 76-77; Raggi anali molli: 61 - 62. Slender, small; pale with distinct, dark ocellated spots near rear of dorsal and anal fins.

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Inhabits sandy substrates, also those submerged beds of aquatic vegetation, in clear shallow waters near coral reefs. Little is known of its biology since its captured infrequently and generally in small numbers; most captures were a single fish (Ref. 26268).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.6 - 28.2, mean 27.4 °C (based on 290 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00647 - 0.03228), b=3.05 (2.85 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
