Etymology: Cantherhines: Greek, kanthos = the outer or inner corner of the eye, where the lids meet, 1646 + Greek, rhinos = nose (Ref. 45335).

Ecologia
marinhas associadas(os) a recifes; intervalo de profundidade 2 - 40 m (Ref. 58047), usually 3 - 20 m (Ref. 40849). Tropical; 33°N - 26°S, 99°W - 14°W

Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 46.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 7251)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 2; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 34 - 36; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 29 - 32. Adults are brown, with or without many prominent white spots on body and head; caudal fin black with obscure curved median white bar and two indistinct white basal spots (Ref. 13442). Males are readily distinguished from females of about same size by the larger spines on caudal peduncle and by orange color of patch of setae anterior to the peduncular spines on males (Ref. 13442).
Inhabits coral reefs or rocky bottoms (Ref. 5217). Found among gorgonians. Occurs in pairs (Ref. 5521). Feeds mainly on sponges, gorgonians, and algae (Ref. 9710) but also eats hydroids and stinging coral (Ref. 13442).
