Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 12 - 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 12; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 11 - 12.
Adults occur singly or in small to large aggregations in passes and steep outer reef slopes (Ref. 7247). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Diurnal species (Ref. 54980; 113699).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00579 - 0.02736), b=3.03 (2.84 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
