Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 1 - 55 m (Ref. 27115), usually 1 - 35 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical; 22°C - 28°C (Ref. 27115); 19°N - 22°S
Indo-Pacific: Aldabra and Astove of Seychelles to the Loyalty Islands, Fiji and Japan. Report from southern Marshall Islands appears to be based on the paratype of Luzonichthys robustus Fourmanoir, which has been reidentified as Luzonichthys earlei (Ref. 8524).
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 2334)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 15 - 16; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 7. Looks blue with dark yellow over the back when seen in natural light. Unlike most other basslets, the dorsal fins are in two parts (Ref. 48635).
