Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 8. Characterized by having dorsal fin rays VI-I, 9; anal fin rays II,8; pectoral fin rays 14; pelvic fin rays I, 5; pored lateral line scales 24; predorsal scales 6; circumpeduncular scales 12 (Ref. 93839). Further characterized by semi-transparent red color; caudal peduncle with broad blackish stripe midlaterally, extending onto lower half of caudal fin; greatest depth of body 2.8-3.1 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Solitary and secretive, found in patch or fringing reefs near shore, often in silty conditions (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.8 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 1632 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00690 - 0.03171), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
