Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 15 - 16; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 15 - 16.
Adults occur solitarily or in small groups in lagoons and outer reef slopes. Feed mainly on benthic algae (Ref. 7247). 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).
