Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. Characterized by mainly white body color with short dark brown bar below eye; presence of dark band from rear eye to nape; side of body with irregular brown markings; large brown saddles below dorsal fins and dorsally on caudal peduncle; rounded caudal fin; longitudinal scale series 27; median predorsal scales absent; prepectoral and prepelvic areas without scales; depressed head, head depth about 1.3 in head width; opening of gill restricted to base of pectoral fin; depth of body 5.3-6.0 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs on sandy bottoms of lagoon and seaward reefs to a depth of over 9 m (Ref. 37816). Gut examined of a 2.78 cm SL male included remains of mantid shrimps and that of a 2.39 mm SL female included one juvenile specimen of Cabillus tongarevae, indicating possible cannibalistic habit (Ref. 125964).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 25.4 - 29.3, mean 28.4 (based on 2003 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
