This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: D XIII-XIV,11-12 (usually 12); A II,9-10 (usually 10); pectoral-fin rays 18-20 (usually 19); pelvic-fin rays I,5; caudal-fin rays principal 15, branched 13; procurrent spiniform caudal-fin rays 2; tubed lateral-line scales 16-19 (usually 18-19); gill rakers 7-11 + 18-23, total rakers 26-33 (usually 26-29) (Ref. 125611).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit lagoon and seaward coral and rocky reefs (Ref. 9710). Prefer habitat consisting of boulder substrates or mixed rock, rubble, and sand, at depths between about 3 and 30 m (Ref. 125611). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding; eggs demersal and adhere to the substrate, and males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Diurnal species (Ref. 54980; 113699).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18.8 - 28.8, mean 27.2 °C (based on 636 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00579 - 0.02736), b=3.03 (2.84 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.45 se; based on food items.
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).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 105 [61, 184] mg/100g; Iron = 0.862 [0.545, 1.367] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [17.5, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.175 [0.107, 0.283] g/100g; Selenium = 24.4 [13.4, 46.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 253 [91, 669] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.68 [1.15, 2.32] mg/100g (wet weight);
