Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 11 - 12; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 18 - 21; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 19 - 25. Body elongate, compressed. Head small, without crests. Elongated seventh and eight dorsal fin spines and two cirri on the anterior nostril rim (Ref. 37380). Body pale in color with small black spots (Ref. 4404).
Adults inhabit shoreline reefs and sheltered lagoons (Ref. 90102). 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).
