Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 14; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14-16; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 13 - 14. Body and head color primarily brown, yellow-orange on ventral portion. A blue streak runs from the snout to the suborbital. Blue or purplish spots are on opercular series. Each scale with dark brown streak near its margin, appearing as series of narrow transverse bands. The dorsal is fin brown, posteriormost is somewhat translucent. The caudal fin is tan to brown, outermost part translucent to yellowish. The anal and pelvic fins yellow to orange. The pectorals are transparent with suffusion of yellow with a small dark spot superiorly at its base.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit coral and rocky reefs (Ref. 9710). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.6 - 27.1, mean 25.6 °C (based on 300 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.00922 - 0.04124), b=3.00 (2.82 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
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 = 60.1 [25.3, 105.9] mg/100g; Iron = 0.697 [0.407, 1.265] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [17.7, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.163 [0.089, 0.289] g/100g; Selenium = 12.2 [5.6, 26.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 47.3 [11.2, 186.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.11 [0.69, 1.76] mg/100g (wet weight);
