Max length : 13.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2334)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 10. Scales on lateral line: 46-49 (+2 past hypural) (Ref. 1602). Juveniles are black with several white pinstripes; females become lighter dorsally, and males develop golden centered scales, blue lines on the face, and a wedge-shaped white area in the center of the tail (Ref. 1602).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Uncommon inhabitant of coral-rich areas of clear outer lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 1602). May form small groups (Ref. 90102). Males generally solitary (Ref. 9710). Juveniles are cleaners while adults feed on coral polyps (Ref. 1602). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.9 - 28.8, mean 27.6 °C (based on 554 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00472 - 0.01763), b=3.06 (2.90 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±0.55 se; based on food items.
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).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 99.3 [57.5, 169.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.799 [0.464, 1.460] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [15.3, 20.4] %; Omega3 = 0.16 [0.10, 0.25] g/100g; Selenium = 27.2 [16.7, 48.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 132 [40, 502] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.98 [1.36, 3.23] mg/100g (wet weight);
