Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. This species is distinguished from its congeners by having the following characters: a reddish-orange body with a darker red to orange lateral stripe with darker borders on the body which extends anteriorly onto the head, where it bifurcates, and there is a thin longitudinal light stripe below the eye; usually lacks scales in the predorsal midline but when present, are separated from the first dorsal fin by an unscaled area; the second spine of the first dorsal is elongated; dorsal rays 9; anal rays 8; a single branch in the fifth pelvic fin ray; gill rakers on the first gill arch 19-22 (Ref. 87358); characterized further by having longitudinal scale series 23-24; cheek or opercle without scales; depth of body 3.8-4.2 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Inhabits coral reefs, often outer slopes on isolated rock or coral outcrops in 12-66 m (Ref. 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 28 - 29.2, mean 28.7 °C (based on 78 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
