Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 10 - 30 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical; 30°N - 9°S
Indo-Pacific: Moluccas in Indonesia, Philippines, Ryukyus in Japan and Palau.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 31.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9710)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 9. Males resemble S. bowersi but differs in that the tan area of S. bowersi does not extend as far back as the anal fin (Ref. 1602). Initial phase has a distinctive black spot at front of the anal fin and yellowish tail and soft dorsal fin.
A rare species found in coastal and outer reefs with dense coral cover (Ref. 9710); often silty habitats (Ref. 48636).
