Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 8 - 9; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 26 - 30; Espinas anales: 2 - 3; Radios blandos anales: 23 - 26.
Common in clear insular areas or in coral reefs off mainland coasts (Ref. 5217). Juveniles frequent areas with algae (e.g. Sargassum) (Ref. 26235). Usually in schools which may be spawning groups; occasionally solitary. Feeds on fishes, shrimps and other invertebrates. Marketed fresh (Ref. 56217). Easily approached (Ref. 9710). Large individuals have caused ciguatera when eaten (Ref. 13442).
