Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12 - 14; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 11 - 13.
Adults inhabit lagoon and outer reefs in shallow areas exposed to mild or moderate surge. Feed on benthic algae and small invertebrates (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). Highly territorial (Ref. 9710). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
