Maturité: Lm? range ? - ? cm Max length : 22.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 9710)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 10 - 11; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 24 - 28; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 17 - 20. Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
A generally uncommon species that inhabits seaward reefs to depths greater than 60 m (Ref. 9710). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Adults feed mainly on whole organisms such as small crustaceans. Usually seen in pairs. Oviparous (Ref. 205), monogamous (Ref. 52884). They form pairs during breeding (Ref. 205). Sometimes dark brown instead of yellow (Ref. 48636). In the East Indian region this species is replaced by F. wanai at Cenderawasih Bay (Ref. 90102). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
