Etymology: Bodianus:Bodianus after Bodiano or Pudiano, from the Portuguese pudor, meaning modesty (Jordan & Evermann, 1896); axillaris:Name from the Latin noun axilla for arm pit, apparently referring to the prominent black spot in the axilla of the pectoral fin (Ref. 75973). More on author: Bennett.
Ambiente: milieu / zona climática / intervalo de profundidade / gama de distribuição Ecologia
marinhas associadas(os) a recifes; intervalo de profundidade 2 - 100 m (Ref. 9823), usually 2 - 40 m (Ref. 27115). Tropical; 24°C - 27°C (Ref. 27115); 32°N - 32°S
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 12; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 9 - 10; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais moles: 12 - 13. Juveniles and females easily recognized by the generally black body with large white spots; males have large black spots on the soft parts of the dorsal and anal fins (Ref. 48636). Juveniles resemble the juveniles of B. mesothorax but have white rather than yellow spots. Undergoes a dramatic color change with growth. Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Adults inhabit clear lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 1602); common in clear shallow waters at 1-8 m; large individuals occasionally at greater depths below 27 m (Ref. 75973). Juveniles occur solitary in caves or under ledges and act as cleaners by picking at bodies of other fishes (adults occasionally do this) (Ref. 1602); occurring regularly at depths of 14-26 m (Ref. 75973). Feed mainly on benthic, hard-shelled, invertebrates such as mollusks and crustaceans (Ref. 9823). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Not commonly marketed. Occasionally seen in the aquarium trade.
