Ecologie
marien rifbewoner; diepte 10 - 40 m (Ref. 9710). Tropical; 30°N - 25°S
Pacific Ocean: Ryukyu Islands to the Line and Ducie islands, north to the Ryukyu Islands, south to the Great Barrier Reef.
Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 50.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 2334); common length : 38.0 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 37816)
Dorsale stekels (totaal): 9; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal): 10; Anale stekels 3; Anale zachte stralen: 9. Coloration changes slowly with growth. The light green patch on the caudal peduncle is present on individuals as small as 15 cm and the distinctive tan facial markings are on most individuals above 20 cm. Large males develop a near-vertical forehead profile and long lobes and a well-developed lunate caudal fin.
Often seen in small schools on exposed reef flats and seaward reefs (Ref. 1602). Minimum depth reported from Ref. 90102. Feeds on benthic algae (Ref. 89972).
