Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 12; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 17 - 18; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 19. Body coloration with 8 pairs of irregular, olive-brown bars and numerous small white spots (particularly on anterior half), breast with large white spot (no defined dark margin), and 2 large dark spots on throat. Segmented caudal rays, 13, with middle 9 branched; supraorbital tentacle with slender base, tip bifid with secondary branches; palmate nape cirrus; nasal cirrus, simple lanceolate filament; upper and lower lip margins smooth; lacking an occipital crest; last anal ray and caudal peduncle connected by membrane; body depth at anal-fin origin 4.6-5.5 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Adults are found solitary on corals both live and dead ones (Ref. 90102). They graze on epilithic algae along with the accompanying detritus and sediment (Ref. 94105). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
