Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 9; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 11. Juveniles are off-white with a broad yellow lateral band.
Inhabits seaward reefs, prefers open expanses of sand or mixed sand, rubble, and pavement usually below 11 m. Occurs in loose groups of one male and numerous smaller females and juveniles. Small groups of females and males moving over large areas by themselves, regularly checking females (Ref. 48636).
