Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 8; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 8; Vértebra: 24. Predorsal scales 4; preopercular edge serrate; preopercular ridge smooth to slightly crenulate; body depth 2.9-3.3 in SL; yellow with six narrow blue stripes on head, the two upper stripes usually continue faintly as broader purplish stripes on body; a blue-edged yellow stripe basally in second dorsal and anal fins; dorsal profile of head slightly convex (Ref. 33415).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Inhabits sheltered clearwater areas of lagoon and seaward reefs. Aggregates under ledges, in holes, or even among spines of sea urchins. Feeds on planktonic crustaceans and small invertebrates by day and night (Ref. 37816).
