Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 29 - 30; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 26 - 28. This species is most similar to N. helfrichi in both having the following set of characters and live colouration details: caudal fin truncate to weakly emarginate; dorsoposterior ctenoid scales with fewer than 10 ctenii; elevated part of first dorsal fin blue on anterior edge; median fins are pale yellowish green, caudal fin without any markings, the outermost edge of second dorsal and anal fin tipped with a yellow or orange spot, one in each interradial membrane space; body when alive lavender to lilac; pelvic fins black-tipped; dorsal edge of iris with a black mark at 1
o’clock position, sometimes continuing onto interorbital space as a short streak. This species is unlike N. helfrichi and all its congeners by the following characters: maxilla unmarked (bright yellow in life, pale tan in preservation); and when alive, the snout, lower jaw, preopercle, and postorbital region are bright yellow (Ref. 128599).
Often occurs in seaward sand channels and rubble pans adjacent to coral reefs (Ref. 128599).
