Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 12; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 14 - 15; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 11 - 12.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Adults are found exclusively in the surge zone of seaward reefs (Ref. 1602). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). They always remain close to the shelter of small holes or sea urchin furrows in bare rock (Ref. 1602). Feed on benthic algae and small invertebrates. 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).
