Short description
Hình thái học | Sinh trắc học
Các tia vây lưng cứng (tổng cộng): 9; Các vây lưng mềm (tổng cộng): 10; Tia cứng vây hậu môn 3; Tia mềm vây hậu môn: 9. Adults of both sexes have distinct white spot behind base of dorsal fin; super males with red line from corner of mouth to below back of eye; and 2 or more jet-black spots on side above pectoral fin (Ref. 26938). The smaller color phase is brown or greenish brown with a dark blue cast on the back and sides, becoming red ventrally (Ref. 13442).
Inhabits coral reefs, young usually in adjacent seagrass beds. Often rests on the bottom (Ref. 9710). Feeds on plants. Solitary or in small groups. A protogynous hermaphrodite (Ref. 55367).
