Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 15; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 18 - 21. Enlarged jaws, with the lower jaw protruding (Ref. 94101).
Adults inhabit lagoons and seaward reefs (Ref. 90102). They are found in caves, crevices and on flat surfaces of coral, sponges or rubble with algae (Ref. 48636). Some live on live corals (Ref. 94101). Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.2 - 28.9, mean 27.7 °C (based on 708 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00617 (0.00288 - 0.01322), b=3.04 (2.86 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
