Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 13 - 14; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 20 - 22; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 18 - 21.
Occur in monogamous pairs in coastal coral-rich areas (Ref. 47838, 48636). Juveniles hide among branches of small corals, often in lagoons (Ref. 9407). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Feed solely on live corals (Ref. 47838). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Form pairs during breeding (Ref. 205).
