Descrição breve
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 12; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 12; Espinhos anais: 2; Raios anais moles: 12. Body bright blue, scarcely paler below, with black stripe (Ref. 26938). Black margin on spinous dorsal fin, upper and lower lobes of caudal fin and front of anal fin; no black spot at pectoral base (Ref. 13442).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Adults are common above deep outer reefs and feeds in aggregations of the small zooplankton, primarily copepods (Ref. 13442). Often with creole wrasse. They retreat into coral crevices when frightened (Ref. 9710). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).
