Madurez: Lm? range ? - ? cm Max length : 31.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 9710)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 9; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11 - 13; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 11 - 13. Color of Philippine `pterophthalmus' form very dark olive-brown; scales with reddish margins; body without markings. Male form (painting) reddish brown, each scale with a vertical blue line; irregular blue lines on head and thorax; median fins with spots or stripes and colored margins. Dorsal spines pungent. Caudal fin rounded in juveniles. Juveniles with large ocelli at the ends of the dorsal and anal fins (Ref. 48636). Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Adults inhabit shallow coral reefs, often in weedy areas (Ref. 9710). Feed on benthic invertebrates. Expatriate juveniles are transported by currents to subtropical zones during pelagic stages (Ref. 48636). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Occasionally seen in fish markets or aquarium trade.
