Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 2; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 26 - 28; Radios blandos anales: 23 - 24. Body with 6 short dermal flaps. Males have distinctive ocellus above the front base of anal fin.
Collected from mixed sand-coral habitats. Lives mainly on coastal reefs and most often found on outcrops of coral in sheltered sandy bays subject to moderate tidal currents (Ref. 48637). Occurs singly or in groups among the branches of gorgonians, soft corals, or finely-branched fire corals (Ref. 37816, 48637).
