Short description Morphology | Morphometrics
Light red with two posterior dark brown bars, the first linking rear base of second dorsal and anal fins, and the broader second posteriorly on caudal peduncle.
Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions | Faunafri
Western Atlantic: Florida Keys, USA and Bahamas to the Antilles (Ref. 26340) and Curaçao.
Prefers coral and rocky areas with little sand. Looks very similar to Apogon planifrons which occurs in the same area.

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01263 (-0.15731 - 0.18256), b=3.15 (3.05 - 3.24), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
