Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 7 - 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 27 - 30; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 22 - 24. Color variable, usually grey-blue and posterior part of the body often paler or yellow (Ref. 48636).
Adults are found solitary in coastal, lagoon and seaward reefs from below the surge zone to 30 m depth (Ref. 9710, 90102). They feed on skin, scales, fins and mucus of other fish. Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114). A mimic of Meiacanthus atrodorsalis (Ref. 2334). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
