Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 7; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 7 - 10; Épines anales: 1; Rayons mous anaux: 7 - 10. Characterized by semi-transparent upper body and brownish on lower; body with few evident dark bars; 3-6 lowermost pectoral rays unbranched and thickened; longitudinal scale series 26-58; cup-like pelvic fins with pocket-like thickened, folded and lobed frenum; opening of gill reaching ventrally to below base of pectoral fin (Ref. 90102).
Lives exclusively on Cirripathes anguina found along current-swept drop-offs or backreefs (Ref. 48637). Benthic (Ref. 58302). Occurs in pairs, occasionally with juvenile or a smaller female, Ref. 48637. Also found on seaward and lagoon reefs in 3-45 m (Ref 90102). Feeds on zooplanktons (Ref. 89972).

Benthic spawner. Bi-directional sex change may occur as suggested by a monogamous mating system and bisexual gonadal phase (Ref. 103751).
