Écologie
marin; saumâtre récifal; profondeur 1 - 59 m (Ref. 99978). Tropical; 32°N - 30°S, 33°E - 134°E
Indo-West Pacific: Red Sea, Gulf of Oman and along the African coast (to East London in South Africa, Ref. 3197) and the west coast of Madagascar to southern India and Sri Lanka. There are reliable reports from the Gulf of Thailand, Hong Kong, Okinawa and Japan.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 58.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 90102); common length : 30.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5450); poids max. publié: 3.5 kg (Ref. 4883)
Épines dorsales (Total): 9; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 19-22; Épines anales 3; Rayons mous anaux: 16 - 18.
Adults are found in coastal waters near corals and rocks, also in shallow lagoons (Ref. 30573). Solitary species on inshore reefs (Ref. 48635). Small groups frequently patrol perimeter of reefs (Ref. 90102). Juveniles may enter estuaries (Ref. 5213). Behaviour of shadowing a larger fish was observed, expected to be more common for juvenies (B. Hazes, pers. comm. 3/2023).
