Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 8. Distinguished externally from C. quinquelineatus by the position of the basicaudal spot which is in line with the mid-lateral stripe, and internally by having canine teeth at the end of the lower jaw (Ref. 37816, 48635).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in lagoon reefs to depths of at least 12 m. Usually in small groups among staghorn corals (Ref. 48635). Often collected with C. quinquelineatus, but tends to prefer deeper areas (Ref. 37816). Feeds on small fishes. Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27.7 - 29.1, mean 28.5 °C (based on 162 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):  4.2   ±0.73 se; based on food items.
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 = 147 [77, 271] mg/100g; Iron = 1.01 [0.56, 1.71] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [17.5, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.115 [0.062, 0.218] g/100g; Selenium = 31.5 [14.9, 69.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 145 [54, 399] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.56 [0.99, 2.37] mg/100g (wet weight);
