Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 28 - 32; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 27 - 30.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Inhabits upper portions of outer reef slopes (Ref. 1602). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Hovers above the bottom, facing the current to feed on zooplankton, copepods, and crustacean larvae. Several individuals may share the same hole (especially juveniles). Has a habit of flicking its pennant-like first dorsal fin back and forth (Ref. 1602, 48637). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797. Monogamous (Ref. 52884).
Life cycle and mating behavior
