Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 1 - 70 m (Ref. 9710). Tropical; 30°N - 33°S, 98°W - 31°W

Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 7251)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 12. Small individuals yellowish green with a black spot, edged in light red, behind eye; a small black spot at rear base of dorsal fin. Large adult males are dull green, the centers of the scales with a dull orange red spot; caudal fin with a median longitudinal and upper and lower diagonal converging blue-edged rose bands (Ref. 13442).
Maximum depth from Ref. 126840. Commonly found in clear seagrass beds; uncommon on reefs or muddy bays (Ref. 9710). A protogynous hermaphrodite (Ref. 55367). Generally of no interest to fisheries because of its small average size (Ref. 5217).
