Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 9; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 14; Espinas anales 3; Radios blandos anales: 8. Similar to the more common Cephalopholis spiloparaea but lacks banding in the caudal fin (Ref. 48635); characterized further by reddish brown color; base of pelvic fins with indistinct dark blotch; greatest body depth 2.5-2.9 in SL; rounded caudal fin; short pelvic fins, 2.3-2.5 in head length; strongly bilobed margin of front of upper lip (Ref. 90102); head length 2.1-2.3 times in SL; rounded preopercle, posterior edge finely serrate, lower edge fleshy; very convex upper edge of operculum; maxilla extends past eye; teeth large; midlateral-body scales ctenoid (Ref. 89707).

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Inhabits protected or silty reef areas (Ref. 89707). Reported to be very habitat speciific, lives in very rich invertebrate habitat in the shore side of inner reefs and difficult to get shots u/w. Largest seen was about 25 cm, but usually smaller up to about 20 cm (R. Kuiter, pers. Comm. 03/2022). Maximum length given 40 cm TL (for confirmation) May undergo protogyny. Solitary (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 28 - 29.1, mean 28.5 °C (based on 68 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00590 - 0.02687), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (15 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 47.3 [25.4, 82.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.488 [0.263, 0.915] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [16.9, 20.4] %; Omega3 = 0.16 [0.10, 0.26] g/100g; Selenium = 33.2 [15.9, 57.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 108 [37, 349] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.835 [0.594, 1.369] mg/100g (wet weight);
