توصيف مختصر
كليدهاي شناسايي | ريخت شناسي | ريخت ستجي بوسيله انداره گيري
خارهاي باله پشتي (کل) : 17 - 19; شعاع نرم باله پشتي (کل) : 8 - 10; خارهاي باله مخرجي: 3 - 4; شعاع نرم باله مخرجي: 6 - 9. Diagnosis: juveniles and females light blue-beige to all yellow with bright yellow anal fin; males with black anal fin and black membranes in caudal fin; snout 27.7-36.6% head length; cheek depth 18.8-28.8% HL; caudal peduncle length of females 10.8-16.7% SL; body depth of females 32.9-38.8% SL (Ref. 76849).
Lives in sand-rock interface over slabs, over pockets of sand among the rocks and occasionally over broken rock (Ref. 6256). Males are territorial and chase mainly conspecific males from their territories, with a territory normally consisting of a space between the rocks often with a sandy bottom; males at the bottom of the reef usually burrow from beneath a rock to create a spawning cave (Ref. 76849). Females are often solitary or sometimes occur in small groups, rarely numbering more than 3 individuals (Ref. 6256, 76849). Juveniles and non-territorial adult males occur singly, in pairs or in small groups of 3-8 fish (Ref. 6256). Feeds from the sedimentrich aufwuchs on the rocks from which it rakes diatoms and loose algal strands (Ref. 76849).
