دريايي وابسته به آب سنگ; تغييرات عمق 3 - 25 m (Ref. 9710). Tropical; 39°N - 24°S, 98°W - 31°W
Western Atlantic: Maryland in the USA, Bermuda and Bahamas to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Ref. 13628), including the West Indies (Ref. 3802); absent in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / سن
Maturity: Lm ?, range 31 - ? cm
Max length : 120 cm TL جنس نر / بدون خواص جنسي; (Ref. 7251); common length : 35.0 cm TL جنس نر / بدون خواص جنسي; (Ref. 3802)
خارهاي باله پشتي (کل) : 9; شعاع نرم باله پشتي (کل) : 10; خارهاي باله مخرجي: 2; شعاع نرم باله مخرجي: 9. Adults uniformly blue, with yellow area on top of head that disappears in larger fish. Large fish develop prominent bulging snout and extended upper and lower caudal fin lobes. No other species has this uniform blue color in adults. (Ref. 26938).
Inhabits coral reefs. Juveniles found on Thalassia beds (Ref. 13628). Feeds on benthic plants and small organisms in the sand (Ref. 5521). Forms large spawning aggregations (Ref. 9710).
