Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 8. Color in life pale greenish to brownish gray. Top of head and dorsum may be darker. A black midlateral stripe from snout to tail, tapering to a point on proximal third of midcaudal ray. Black stripe accentuated by a striking narrow white stripe along its dorsal and ventral edge. Fins transparent (Ref 8525).
Inhabits shallow lagoon at about 1 to 15 m, but are occasionally found in deeper water down to 35 m. This species ventures into open water and seen in association with and imitating the foraging behavior of Meiacanthus vittatus. Swims with quick darting motion, mimics Meiacanthus vittatus (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27 - 29.3, mean 28 °C (based on 186 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00550 (0.00223 - 0.01355), b=3.27 (3.06 - 3.48), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 237 [117, 495] mg/100g; Iron = 1.18 [0.59, 2.13] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [17.3, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.114 [0.055, 0.250] g/100g; Selenium = 33.4 [12.4, 81.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 97.2 [27.5, 336.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.5 [1.5, 3.9] mg/100g (wet weight);
