Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2334)
Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 12. Females with longitudinal lines of orange yellow and light blue-green; a blue-edged black spot at the base of the caudal fin and a large blue-edged black spot basally in soft portion of the dorsal fin. Males exhibit the same patterns but have deeper blue-green to green lines, and with faint narrow green bars dorsally; a deep green spot is at the base of the pectoral fins; dorsal fins without the black spot present in females (Ref ). Body green dorsally with numerous longitudinal lines of orange-yellow and blue-green; blue edged black spot on upper caudal peduncle (Ref 9823).
A shallow-water species inhabiting rubble and sandy bottoms with algal cover (Ref. 2334). Often encountered in small groups (Ref. 33411).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 21.8 - 28, mean 26.5 °C (based on 744 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00466 - 0.02049), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
