Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 10 - 11; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 20 - 22; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 17 - 19.

Found in areas of sparse coral growth. Feed on algae and small benthic invertebrates (Ref. 2334). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Form pairs during breeding (Ref. 205). Heavy algae growth should always be maintained in the aquarium.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproducción | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larva

Distinct pairing (Ref. 205). Monogamous mating is observed as both obligate and social (Ref. 52884).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.3 - 28.1, mean 26.4 °C (based on 369 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.01133 - 0.04632), b=3.00 (2.83 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.25 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): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 122 [64, 190] mg/100g; Iron = 0.91 [0.54, 1.49] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [17.3, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.105 [0.063, 0.173] g/100g; Selenium = 29 [16, 56] μg/100g; VitaminA = 45.5 [12.9, 155.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.71 [1.15, 2.49] mg/100g (wet weight);
