Etymology: Thalassoma: Greek, thalassa = the sea + Greek, soma = body; the colour of the sea (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin récifal; non migrateur; profondeur 0 - 15 m (Ref. 2334), usually 0 - 15 m (Ref. 27115). Tropical; 24°C - 28°C (Ref. 27115); 30°N - 32°S

Length at first maturity / Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm 8.5 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 25.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 129178); common length : 15.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 6113)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 8; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 12 - 14; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 11. Color pattern remains similar with growth with terminal males becoming gaudier than primary males (Ref. 37816). Pale green with 6 dark bars, last two as saddles over the tail. Head with pink bands radiating from eye in large adults (Ref. 48636).
Occurs in shallow lagoon and seaward reefs, slopes and along drop-offs to moderate depths. Occurs in small, loose groups (Ref. 48636). Feeds on benthic and planktonic crustaceans, small fishes, and foraminiferans.
