Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 12. Males are recognized by the orange-brown head and blue lines that are chain-like along the body. Juveniles and females have an orange to yellow anal fin. The snout is more pointed compared to similar species (Ref. 48636). Terminal males have a distinctive concave head profile (Ref. 1602).
Occurs in shallow lagoon and channel reefs, up to a depth of at least 12 m, with rich soft-coral growth. Occurs in small loose groups (Ref. 48636).
