Descrição suscinta
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 13 - 14; Raios dorsais (total) : 15 - 17; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 15 - 17. Black spot with white or bluish edges on its sides (Ref. 5372).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Usually seen alone or in pairs (specially during spawning) but occasionally in small groups, particularly in the vicinity of staghorn Acropora and Goniopora (Ref. 5503) thickets. Diet consists of live corals which makes it difficult to maintain in captivity (Ref. 4858). Little intraspecific nor interspecific aggressiveness (Ref. 5503). Oviparous (Ref. 205), monogamous (Ref. 52884). Form pairs during breeding (Ref. 205).

Distinct pairing (Ref. 205). Monogamous mating is observed as both obligate and social (Ref. 52884).
