Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 21; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12; Spine anali: 15; Raggi anali molli: 12. Almost white with some black spots or lines on the head (Ref. 48636).
Found on sandy areas of deep lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 9710), usually along deep drop-offs with large caves, rich with invertebrate growth in depths over 20 m. Occurs in small groups of females, usually a male swimming nearby (Ref. 48636). May be found solitary (Ref. 90102).
