Issue
Occurrence outside the distributional range needs correct identification to determine to which species these are referring to.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 10 m (Ref. 100374). Tropical
Western Indian Ocean: restricted to the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm

Common in tide pools near reefs and in shallow reef areas. Skin near dorsal and ventral ridge can be inflated, e.g. during territorial display among males (Ref. 557). Maximum length from S. Bogorodsky [(8.9 cm SL, 11.5 cm TL, collected specimens not exceeding 10 cm TL), pers.comm 04/2023].

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.7 - 29.2, mean 27.8 °C (based on 1297 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03631 (0.01554 - 0.08482), b=2.88 (2.69 - 3.07), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
