Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 14 - 16; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 13 - 14.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Adults inhabit shallow gutters of rocky areas or coral reefs of protected bays and lagoons. Solitary and shy (Ref. 9710). Often swimming near the surface (Ref. 48636). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Diurnal species (Ref. 113699).
