Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 13; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 11 - 13.
Adults usually inhabit steep outer reef slopes and rocky bottoms. Found singly or in small groups. Uncommon (Ref. 9710). Diurnal species (Ref. 54980; 113699). 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).
