Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 10; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 15 - 16; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 7. Looks blue with dark yellow over the back when seen in natural light. Unlike most other basslets, the dorsal fins are in two parts (Ref. 48635).

Usually in groups on outer reef slopes (Ref. 27115). Most commonly occurs in shallow water and most likely seen by divers (Ref. 37816). Forms dense aggregations that feed on zooplankton (Ref 90102).
