Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 14; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 12 - 13; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 12 - 13. This species is light green with a distinctive elongate dark blotch on the caudal peduncle and a large black spot on the upper pectoral axil.
Adults inhabit lagoon and seaward reefs. A planktivorous species (Ref. 1602). 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).
