Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 8; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 9. Color is white or pinkish with about six red-brown stripes on side; 3-4 dark spots at the base of the caudal fin. Eyes iridescent blue. Small juveniles have yellow caudal peduncle with black spot in centre, mimicking the large-toothed Cheilodipterus species. That enables them to swim about more freely (Ref. 48635).

Found in small aggregates among or near mounds of branching corals such as Porites cylindrica or P. nigrescens (Ref. 1602). Nocturnal species (Ref. 7300). Has been reared in captivity (Ref. 35404).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.6 - 29.3, mean 28.7 °C (based on 2141 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00519 - 0.01678), b=3.06 (2.90 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.50 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 126 [78, 217] mg/100g; Iron = 0.95 [0.59, 1.49] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [18.1, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.158 [0.101, 0.248] g/100g; Selenium = 26.4 [14.9, 47.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 90.5 [33.3, 242.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.86 [1.28, 2.59] mg/100g (wet weight);
