Description synthétique
Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 10; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 13 - 14; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 8. Preorbital bone very broad in adults. Large specimens develop a groove from front of eye to nostrils, and on upper part of preopercle behind the eye. Preopercular notch and knob weak. Scale rows on back rising obliquely above lateral line. Color mainly red to pink with a silvery hue; the fins reddish.
Adults are found over hard bottoms in inshore reef areas up to a depth of at least 80 m (Ref. 9313). Carnivorous, feed on big invertebrates and fish (Ref. 9313). They are marketed fresh or frozen because of excellent quality of flesh (Ref. 9313).
