Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 11. Juveniles are off-white with a broad yellow lateral band.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Inhabits seaward reefs, prefers open expanses of sand or mixed sand, rubble, and pavement usually below 11 m. Occurs in loose groups of one male and numerous smaller females and juveniles. Small groups of females and males moving over large areas by themselves, regularly checking females (Ref. 48636).
