Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 11; Vertebrae: 28. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: D XI,11; A III, 11; P ii17; lateral-line complete, 38-44 tubed scales; scales above lateral line 2-4; scales not extending onto bases of dorsal and anal fins; scales on forehead extending anteriorly beyond or nearly to level of anterior nostrils. Colouration: multiple orange-red bars of pigment on a whitish background may be seen on the dorsal portion of the trunk; red (adults) or black (juveniles) circular blotch on the dorsal portion of caudal-fin base (Ref. 128563).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in areas with hard substrates, including rocky ledges and patches of dead corals or rocks lying on silty sand bottoms (Ref. 128563).

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=0.00955 (0.00456 - 0.02002), b=3.06 (2.89 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 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).
