Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 25-27; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 17 - 19. Dorsal fin of males generally dusky when preserved, the large dark spot absent on anterior part of fin. Caudal vertebrae, 23-25 (usually 24). Anterior lateral line scales 32-39, usually 33-37.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Apparently living in corals with surfaces composed of tiny finger-like projections (Ref. 42958).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Bi-directional sex change has been proposed for this species though histological analysis of more specimens is needed for confirmation (Ref. 103751).
