Etymology: Meiacanthus: Greek, meion = less = lessen + Greek, akantha = thorn (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr James Leonard Brierley Smith (1897–1968) was a South African chemist and ichthyologist most famous for identifying a stuffed fish as a coelacanth, then thought to have been extinct for millions of years. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Descrição breve
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Similar to M. atrodorsalis, but lacks yellow and black lines from eye and along dorsal fin are longer and thicker (Ref. 48636).
Adults occur in coastal and inner reef habitats to about 20 m depth (Ref. 48636). Juveniles usually found solitary and adults occasionally in pairs (Ref. 48636, 90102). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114). Sexual dimorphism present. and young Scolopsis biliniatus are mimics (Ref. 90102). Minimum depth reported from Ref. 90102.
