Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 12; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11 - 12; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 11 - 12.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Adults are found singly or in loose aggregations above the upper edges of outer reef slopes with rich coral growth. Often at the entrance of large caves or near its ceiling (Ref. 7247). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 48636. Diurnal species (Ref. 52881).
