Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 21 - 23; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 13; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 23 - 25. Head mauve with bright orange patches. Eyes with a fine bright blue line around pupils. Body with 9-10 orange to blackish dorsal bands on the posterior half. Distinguished from other triplefins by the distinctive color pattern. Pelvic fins reduced to 2 rays.
Adults occur in tidal pools and the subtidal zone, usually on encrusted walls and other overhangs. They remove parasites from large fishes such as moray eels (Ref. 13227). Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114).
