Etymology: Cantherhines: Greek, kanthos = the outer or inner corner of the eye, where the lids meet, 1646 + Greek, rhinos = nose (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / Zona climática / intervalo de profundidade / distribution range
Ecologia
marinhas associadas(os) a recifes; intervalo de profundidade 2 - 40 m (Ref. 58047), usually 3 - 20 m (Ref. 40849). Tropical; 33°N - 26°S, 99°W - 14°W

Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 46.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 7251)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 2; Raios dorsais (total) : 34 - 36; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais : 29 - 32. Adults are brown, with or without many prominent white spots on body and head; caudal fin black with obscure curved median white bar and two indistinct white basal spots (Ref. 13442). Males are readily distinguished from females of about same size by the larger spines on caudal peduncle and by orange color of patch of setae anterior to the peduncular spines on males (Ref. 13442).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Inhabits coral reefs or rocky bottoms (Ref. 5217). Found among gorgonians. Occurs in pairs (Ref. 5521). Feeds mainly on sponges, gorgonians, and algae (Ref. 9710) but also eats hydroids and stinging coral (Ref. 13442).
