Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11 - 13; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 11 - 13.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Adults usually inhabit steep outer reef slopes and rocky bottoms. Found singly or in small groups. Uncommon (Ref. 9710). Diurnal species (Ref. 54980; 113699). 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).
