Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 9 - 10. Diagnosis: This species has a frontal ridge behind the orbits that slopes steeply into a wide interorbital trench anteromedially, and into postorbital trenches laterally ; posterior nasal opening adnate to eye; no elongate dorsal spines; second dorsal with 10 or more elements; fifth pectoral ray with two sequential branches (occasionally one dichotomous branch); 18 or more pectoral rays; no scales on head; body color orange-red with four white bars on dorsum, and light orange blotches on white colored head and nape; dark triangular group of melanophores above opercle (Ref. 57688).

Inhabits coral reefs and within the reef-rubble slope (Ref. 11441, 57688).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.4 - 29.3, mean 28.3 °C (based on 821 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
