Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; non migratori; distribuzione batimetrica 3 - 12 m (Ref. 7247). Tropical
Western Pacific: there are two separate populations but further collections may provide evidence for a continuous distribution. The first population inhabits the South China and Java seas. The second population is known from eastern Queensland and the vicinity of Daru Island off southern Papua New Guinea.

Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 11 - 12.
Adults inhabit coastal reefs around coral or rock outcrops on soft bottoms (Ref. 9710). 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). Have been reared in captivity (Ref. 35404). Diurnal species (Ref. 113699).
