Etymology: Atropus: The name of the Parcae, fates of Roman mythology (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ökologie
seewasser; brackwasser riff-verbunden; tiefenbereich 1 - 59 m (Ref. 99978). Tropical; 32°N - 30°S, 33°E - 134°E
Indo-West Pacific: Red Sea, Gulf of Oman and along the African coast (to East London in South Africa, Ref. 3197) and the west coast of Madagascar to southern India and Sri Lanka. There are reliable reports from the Gulf of Thailand, Hong Kong, Okinawa and Japan.
Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 58.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 90102); common length : 30.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 5450); max. veröff. Gewicht: 3.5 kg (Ref. 4883)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 9; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 19 - 22; Afterflossenstacheln: 3; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 16 - 18.
Adults are found in coastal waters near corals and rocks, also in shallow lagoons (Ref. 30573). Solitary species on inshore reefs (Ref. 48635). Small groups frequently patrol perimeter of reefs (Ref. 90102). Juveniles may enter estuaries (Ref. 5213). Behaviour of shadowing a larger fish was observed, expected to be more common for juvenies (B. Hazes, pers. comm. 3/2023).
