Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 16 - 17; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9 - 11; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 9.
Found in sandy areas (Ref. 40898). Territorial males defend a small patch of sand against conspecific males only (Ref. 40898). Foraging females and non-territorial males form large schools (Ref. 40898).
