Ökologie
seewasser riff-verbunden; standorttreu; tiefenbereich 3 - 60 m (Ref. 9626), usually 10 - 20 m (Ref. 9626). Tropical; 34°N - 7°N, 100°W - 58°W
Western Atlantic: Bermuda, southern Florida (USA), and the Caribbean Sea. Including the Bahamas, Gulf of Mexico and Antilles (Ref. 26938).
Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 27000)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 12; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 12; Afterflossenstacheln: 2; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 12. Body bright blue, scarcely paler below, with black stripe (Ref. 26938). Black margin on spinous dorsal fin, upper and lower lobes of caudal fin and front of anal fin; no black spot at pectoral base (Ref. 13442).
Adults are common above deep outer reefs and feeds in aggregations of the small zooplankton, primarily copepods (Ref. 13442). Often with creole wrasse. They retreat into coral crevices when frightened (Ref. 9710). 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).
