Short description
Morphology | Morphometrics
Distinctive species, easily identified by the thin dark lines and bright white spots. The Bali specimens are generally paler and have smaller white spots than those from Flores and Sangihe Islands but this maybe habitat related (Ref. 48636).
Western Central Pacific: known only from the small islands in the Moluccas, New Guinea and eastward to Florida Island, Solomon Islands.
Found in coastal reef crests (Ref. 8631, 48636). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205).

Resilience (Ref.
69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
