Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11 - 12; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 11 - 12.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Usually found in outer reef slopes and frequently in the deeper surge channels or adjacent ledges. Form small groups in sub-tidal habitats (Ref. 48636). 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). Diurnal species (Ref. 113699).
