Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8 - 9. Characterized by red face with vertical blue lines; uniformly dark brown to light brown or bright green with a longitudinal thin red stripe; red stripe at the base of dorsal fins; absence of scales; complete pelvic fin frenum and basal membrane; depth of body at level of pelvic fins 2.6-3.0 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Marine species usually living on coral reefs but also recorded from pools, freshwater streams or lagoon mouths (Ref. 4343). Preys on copepods (Ref. 92840). Found on tabletop Acropora corals (Ref. 1602); a coral-commensal species (Ref. 72446). Monogamous (Ref. 52884). The male takes care of eggs deposited on a coral branch (Ref. 32163). Has the ability to change sex in both directions to favor reproductive success (Ref. 32163).

The male takes care of eggs deposited on a coral branch (Ref. 32163). Has the ability to change sex in both directions to favor reproductive success (Ref. 32163). Monogamous mating is observed as both obligate and social (Ref. 52884).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.8 - 29, mean 28 °C (based on 1316 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [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): 3.5 ±0.5 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 = 183 [75, 391] mg/100g; Iron = 1.01 [0.49, 2.17] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.1, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.153 [0.054, 0.335] g/100g; Selenium = 30.4 [12.2, 70.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 81.6 [18.2, 361.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.55 [1.57, 3.97] mg/100g (wet weight);
