Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 13-15; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 12 - 14. Distinguished by its long spatulate snout and slender shape; reddish or brown with a pair of yellow stripes on upper half of the head and body.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Lives in close association with long-spined sea urchins or branching corals of sheltered reefs (Ref. 9710). Juvenile fish eat pedicellariae and sphaeridia of the host Diadema and commensal copepods; adult fish eat burrowing bivalves in corals as well as tube feet of their host and eggs of a commercial shrimp (Ref. 33619).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 29.2, mean 28.4 °C (based on 2397 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.20 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 = 167 [81, 333] mg/100g; Iron = 0.802 [0.440, 1.467] mg/100g; Protein = 17.4 [16.1, 18.6] %; Omega3 = 0.125 [0.063, 0.246] g/100g; Selenium = 18.1 [7.4, 45.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 292 [80, 1,009] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.48 [1.58, 3.70] mg/100g (wet weight);
