Espinas dorsales (total) : 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 14 - 15; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 14 - 15.
Adults inhabit lagoons and passages among branching corals. They occur solitarily or in small groups. Feed mainly on benthic algae (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. 113699).
