Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 6 - 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 8. Characterized by mottled brown body color; side of body with a pair of oblique brown bands, below first dorsal fin and below posterior of second dorsal fin; lower half side of body with 6-7 rectangular brown blotches; numerous small brown spots on snout, interorbital and cheek; upper 4-5 pectoral rays branched to base, tips membrane-free; rounded caudal fin; longitudinal scale series 36-38; predorsal scales 15-20, reaching midway between rear edge of preopercle and posterior edge of eye; cheek and operculum without scales; ctenoid body scales, becoming cycloid on abdomen, breast and nape; depressed head, width greater than depth; depth of body 4.3-4.7 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Inhabits clear coastal reef flats, intertidal to about 5 meters depth (Ref. 48637). Benthic in tidepools and tidal flats; also from seaward reefs (Ref. 58302).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.6 - 29.3, mean 27.9 °C (based on 1510 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.6 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.
