Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 9 - 10. Diagnosis: This species has a frontal ridge behind the orbits that slopes steeply into a wide interorbital trench anteromedially, and into postorbital trenches laterally ; posterior nasal opening adnate to eye; no elongate dorsal spines; second dorsal with 10 or more elements; fifth pectoral ray with two sequential branches (occasionally one dichotomous branch); 18 or more pectoral rays; no scales on head; body color orange-red with four white bars on dorsum, and light orange blotches on white colored head and nape; dark triangular group of melanophores above opercle (Ref. 57688).

Inhabits coral reefs and within the reef-rubble slope (Ref. 11441, 57688).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00419 - 0.01894), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

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

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
