Characterized by pale grey color grading to white ventrally; presence of blue-edged red to pink band from occiput to cheek; side of body with variable-sized brown spots on side of body and on dorsal and caudal fins; some larger spots (on shoulder region and first dorsal fin) surrounded by small blue-white spots; upper half of side of body and along base of second dorsal fin with scattered small blue-white spots; hard and pungent first dorsal spine of first dorsal fin, fifth spine forming short filaments; lanceolate caudal fin; longitudinal scale series 29-32; all scales cycloid; predorsal scales absent; depth of body 6.8-7.8 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs on clear sandy bottoms with fast tidal currents. Retreats in burrows made possibly by sea cucumbers or polychaetes (Ref. 30347).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.9 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 1429 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [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):  3.3   ±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).
