Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 14; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14-16; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 14 - 15. Generally brown to charcoal or blackish. Dusky gray lips; narrow golden margin on pupil. Blackish scale margins; scales with bluish centers on suborbital series and opercular bones; small sheath scales with bluish centers on basal portion of anal fin. Pectoral fins translucent with brown rays, base of uppermost ray bright blue. Scales on ventral surface of head cycloid, the rest ctenoid.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit rocky reefs with little coral and found near crevices and holes (Ref. 9710). They occur singly (Ref. 510). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.4 - 26.8, mean 26.2 °C (based on 28 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.00893 - 0.04257), b=2.99 (2.81 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 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).
