Descrição suscinta
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 4; Raios dorsais (total) : 26; Espinhos anais: 2; Raios anais : 15. White with a pair of black stripes on upper head and body, the dorsalmost extending onto basal portion of dorsal fin. Segmented caudal rays 11; in adult males, outer lobes of caudal fin moderately elongated; body depth about 4.6 in SL. Maximum size to 6.5 cm TL (Ref. 90102).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
Adults are found in sheltered coastal, lagoon, and outer reefs in 1-10 m; solitary or in pairs (Ref. 90102). Collected from a depth of 10 m (Ref. 7401). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
