Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 26.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 48635); common length : 16.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 30573)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 11; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 15 - 17; Espinhos anais: 4; Raios anais moles: 14 - 16. Body red dorsally, silvery pink below LL; reddish brown bar from upper end of gill opening to base of pectoral fins; fins red except for spinous dorsal which is translucent red basally and broadly yellow distally (Ref. 4201). Has smaller scales than most other similar species and the higher number along the body is quite obvious (Ref. 48635).
Lives in subtidal reef flats, also in lagoon and seaward reefs below the surge zone to depths of at least 26 m. Often occurs in large aggregations during the day in areas of rich foliaceous or cavernous coral growth (Ref. 30573). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Feeds on plankton such as crab larvae. Caught at night (Ref. 30573).
