Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 10 - 75 m (Ref. 90102), usually ? - 30 m (Ref. 9269). Tropical; 35°N - 40°S, 28°E - 107°W (Ref. 57372)
Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri
Indo-East-Pacific: Red Sea and East Africa to the easternmost islands of the Pacific Plate (Ref. 6773), including the Desventuradas Is. (Ref. 89357).
Size / Weight / Age
Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12 - 13; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 7. Color variable, usually yellow, red or pale tan, often with a weakly pigmented dark spot at posterior dorsal fin base. Illicium about equal to the length of the 2nd dorsal spine. Esca a spherical whitish blob or it may be filamentous. Last ray of pelvic fin bifurcate. Caudal peduncle absent.
Collected from tide pools as well as lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 1602); secretive among rocks and sponges (Ref. 48635). Feeds on small fishes (Ref. 89972). Benthic (Ref. 58302). Oviparous. Eggs are bound in ribbon-like sheath or mass of gelatinous mucus called 'egg raft' or 'veil' (Ref. 6773). Found among reef crevices or among rubble in 1-75 m, but usually less than 10 m (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.2 - 29, mean 27.7 °C (based on 880 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.73 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Fec assumed to be > 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 66 [31, 122] mg/100g; Iron = 0.66 [0.34, 1.22] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [16.1, 21.8] %; Omega3 = 0.129 [0.046, 0.326] g/100g; Selenium = 23.8 [10.0, 60.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 247 [57, 1,011] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.17 [0.71, 1.86] mg/100g (wet weight);
