Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 11 - 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 22 - 27; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 17 - 19.

Inhabit deep, protected lagoons and channels, and the deeper parts of outer reef slopes. Juveniles are often solitary while adults occur in pairs (Ref. 1602, 48636). A planktivorous species that generally remains within a few meters of the reef. Juveniles may sometimes pick on parasites on the epidermis of other fish (Ref. 5503). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Form pairs during breeding (Ref. 205).
