Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 3; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 28 - 29; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 14 - 15; Vértebra: 26. This species is distinct in having the following characters: hyaline pectoral fins, some ctenoid scales on cheek and operculum; rounded to truncate caudal fin; 17-22 predorsal scales, extending anteriorly to point ranging from anterior AIO pores to posterior nasal pores; dark (more or less) vertical bars extending from above and below eye absent (Ref. 81967).

Solitary and cryptic. Inhabits caves and under ledges of coastal fringing reefs (Ref 90102). This species has been observed to inhabit the tubular sponge Callyspongia aerizusa (Ref. 93553).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 28.1 - 29, mean 28.7 °C (based on 128 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
