Colouration: body olive to dark brown in freshly caught fish; premaxilla dark brown; iris of adult mostly yellow with a narrow bronze eye ring around pupil; pectoral-fin base without a black spot; margin of suborbital and preopercle with distinct serrations; with a prominent notch present between preorbital and suborbital; snout scaly to about level of nostrils or beyond, while no scales on preorbital and suborbital; axillary scale present above base of pelvic fin; a single scale row on preopercle behind the eye and 3 rows of scales present on preopercle below the eye (Ref. 123268).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

The island where it occurs has a coral community that extends from near shore to about 200 m offshore. There are large areas of sand ridges, rocky reefs with some mangrove formations, Pandanus vegetation, and scattered boulders/dead corals are the major characteristics of this locality (Ref. 123268).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02399 (0.01139 - 0.05051), b=2.98 (2.81 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.7   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
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).
