Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 7 - 8; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11 - 13; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 11 - 13; Vértebra: 26. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D XII-XIII (rarely XII),11-13; A II,11-13; pectoral rays 16-18; lateral line tubed scales 14-17 (modally 16); gill rakers 8-9 + 22-24 (total, 30-33, modally 31-32); body depth is 1.65-1.8 in SL; teeth are incisiform, in a single row; scaled suborbital; scales dorsally on snout extending well before nostrils, nearly to base of upper lip; colour of dorsal part of head, anterior body and scaled basal part of dorsal fin is light greyish green, scale edges are dusky, shading ventrally and posteriorly to greenish or pinkish white; naked portion of caudal fin and soft portions of dorsal and anal fins are black; pectoral fins with transparent membranes and faintly dusky rays; without black spot at base or axil of pectoral fins; pelvic fins are white (Ref. 82240).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Presumed to be reef-associated (Ref. 46206). 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).
