Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 10; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 10; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 9. Has 10 dorsal spines, lacks distinct vertical barring or longitudinal lines, and has yellow or reddish edged ocellus on the gill cover. First 3 dorsal fin spines elongated in adults (Ref. 48636).
A secretive species occurring on coral reefs where it hides among soft corals and benthic algae. Feeds on benthic invertebrates. Monogamous (Ref. 52884). Rarely found in the aquarium trade (Ref. 2334). Population from Western Indian Ocean and Red Sea may be different species from fishes from the Pacific; genetic studies are needed (Ref. 90102).
