Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 12; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 11. Body olive brown, the scale edges darker, shading to gray ventrally. Margin of spinous portion of dorsal and anal fins and lateral edge of pelvic fins blue. The axil of the pectoral fins bright orange-yellow. Caudal fin light greenish gray with a broad black band in each lobe and a narrow blue upper and lower margin.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Adults form aggregations on reefs to feed on zooplankton. Take shelter in branching corals (Ref. 11411). 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)..
