Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. This species has a few, relatively narrow (less than pupil diameter) light bars on the head (Ref. 37816); characterized by pinkish grey with dark brown scale edges forming a network; presence of three pale vertical lines below eye and interconnected pale lines on top of head; absence of pelvic frenum; longitudinal scale series 26-28; predorsal scales 12-17; ctenoid body scales; cycloid scales on pectoral fin base, breast and midlaterally on abdomen; opercle of adult with cycloid scales; predorsal scales absent; posterior edge of tubular posterior nostril adherent to edge of orbit; cheek with single vertical row of papillae; depth of body 4.0 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Has been collected from lagoons and drop-offs (Ref. 1602). Also found in reef crevices (Ref. 90102).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.2 - 28.9, mean 27.7 °C (based on 214 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).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.3 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 = 256 [123, 636] mg/100g; Iron = 1.31 [0.64, 2.56] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.2, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.163 [0.065, 0.363] g/100g; Selenium = 26.5 [10.9, 59.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 123 [32, 461] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.21 [1.96, 4.93] mg/100g (wet weight);
