Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 18 - 19; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 16.
Adults occur in outer reef slopes and passages, usually associated with the coral Pocillopora, generally with three to five individuals per coral head (Ref. 7247). Feeds on benthic algaes (Ref. 89972). 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). Diurnal species (Ref. 54980; 113699).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 25.4 - 29, mean 27 °C (based on 351 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.00922 - 0.04124), b=3.00 (2.82 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
