Écologie
marin récifal; profondeur 1 - 30 m (Ref. 9823). Tropical; 32°N - 36°S, 25°E - 132°W
Indo-Pacific: East Africa to the Marquesan and Tuamoto islands, north to the Ryukyu Islands, south to New Caledonia and Rapa.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturité: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 45.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 9710)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 10; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8 - 9; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 8. The only Cheilinus that has 10 dorsal spines. Exhibits a coloration very similar to C. trilobatus, but has black and white specks on its pelvic, anal and caudal fins, while C. trilobatus has vertical red, white and black streaks on its body scales. Large adults of both species have numerous red spots and streaks on the head and trilobed caudal fins.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Adults inhabit lagoon and coastal reefs, in areas with mixed sand, rubble, and coral (Ref. 9710). Occasionally in grassy areas. Feed mainly on benthic invertebrates such as mollusks and crustaceans. Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205).
