Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

This species is distinguished by the following characters: small, moderately robust with body length slightly less than tail length; posterior nostril encased within an unusual elongate dermal flap, its length 7.1 in HL; dorsal fin origin anterior to level of gill opening; vertebral count relatively low, total vertebrae 117. Colouration: in life pale reddish brown on upper two-thirds and white below, with 14, broad dark brown bars, pale spaces between bars and adjacent pale areas of dorsal fin profusely covered with red-brown spotting; dorsal fin with 14, white-edged black bars, appearing as ocelli, when viewed from dorsally (Ref. 123128).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Collected at night in coral reef habitat at a depth of 18 m (Ref. 123128).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
