Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 49 - ? m (Ref. 27370). Tropical
Eastern Central Pacific: Pitcairn.
Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.9 cm SL (female)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 11; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 15; Spine anali: 4; Raggi anali molli: 10; Vertebre: 27. The slender, slightly compressed body is probably mainly, if not entirely, red in life; 5 rows of oblique scales on cheek; body slender, the depth 3.1 in SL; head length (HL) 2.55 in SL; very large eye, 2.6 in HL; very narrow suborbital shelf; anterior end of the nasal bone is rounded; moderately large nasal fossa spineless; surface or medial edge of the nasal bone spineless; third dorsal spine longest, 2.2 in HL; spinous and soft portions of dorsal fin completely separated; third anal spine 1.35 in HL; pointed caudal fin lobes (Ref. 27370).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
The species may penetrate deeper water (suggested by the large eyes); the 49 m depth could be near the upper limit of its depth range (Ref. 27370).
