Etymology: Cheilodipterus: Greek, cheilos = lip + Greek, di = two + Greek, pteryx = fin (Ref. 45335).
Issue
Type locality: Papua New Guinea, Madang, lagoon of Kranket I.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin récifal; profondeur 2 - 25 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical; 5°S - 15°S
Western Pacific: Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomons, and the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.1 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 8525)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 7; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 9; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 8. Color in life pale greenish to brownish gray. Top of head and dorsum may be darker. A black midlateral stripe from snout to tail, tapering to a point on proximal third of midcaudal ray. Black stripe accentuated by a striking narrow white stripe along its dorsal and ventral edge. Fins transparent (Ref 8525).
Inhabits shallow lagoon at about 1 to 15 m, but are occasionally found in deeper water down to 35 m. This species ventures into open water and seen in association with and imitating the foraging behavior of Meiacanthus vittatus. Swims with quick darting motion, mimics Meiacanthus vittatus (Ref 90102).
