Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marinhas associadas(os) a recifes; intervalo de profundidade 4 - 70 m (Ref. 26938). Subtropical; 34°N - 10°S, 99°W - 32°W
Western Atlantic: Bermuda and southern Florida, USA to northern Brazil. Also in Bahamas and Caribbean, including Antilles (Ref. 26938).
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 22.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 5217); common length : 16.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 5217)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 10; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 12. Back crossed by yellow spots and saddles, some of which expand on upper side.
Inhabits shallow rocky or coral bottoms with clear water (Ref. 5217). In groups on deeper reefs (Ref. 9710). Synchronously hermaphroditic. Negligible commercial value due to its small size (Ref. 5217). Sometimes follows goatfishes (family Mullidae) as they probe the sand for invertebrates (Ref. 26938).
