Ecología
marino asociado a arrecife; rango de profundidad 10 - 75 m (Ref. 90102), usually ? - 30 m (Ref. 9269). Tropical; 35°N - 40°S, 28°E - 107°W (Ref. 57372)
Indo-East-Pacific: Red Sea and East Africa to the easternmost islands of the Pacific Plate (Ref. 6773), including the Desventuradas Is. (Ref. 89357).
Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 4113)
Espinas dorsales (total): 3; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 12-13; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 7. Color variable, usually yellow, red or pale tan, often with a weakly pigmented dark spot at posterior dorsal fin base. Illicium about equal to the length of the 2nd dorsal spine. Esca a spherical whitish blob or it may be filamentous. Last ray of pelvic fin bifurcate. Caudal peduncle absent.
Collected from tide pools as well as lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 1602); secretive among rocks and sponges (Ref. 48635). Feeds on small fishes (Ref. 89972). Benthic (Ref. 58302). Oviparous. Eggs are bound in ribbon-like sheath or mass of gelatinous mucus called 'egg raft' or 'veil' (Ref. 6773). Found among reef crevices or among rubble in 1-75 m, but usually less than 10 m (Ref 90102).
