Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
This species is distinguished from A. hastingsi in having melanophores on the lower jaws that do not reach all the way to the distal end; it possess a red primary bright head color (vs. orange), and the windowing effect around that color is not present or is less distinct; almost not having melanophores reaching the base of the first dorsal fin and more typically have a dark, round spot or stretched out spot instead of a swath (Ref. 84469).
Inhabits empty barnacles and worm or mollusk tubes on rocky reefs. Feeds on zooplankton.
