Short description
Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 3; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 9-10; Taggstrålar i analfenan 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 12. Recognized by hinged part of dorsal fin spine. Variable in color with habitat. Greenish-yellow with diffused stripe when in seagrass environment. Pale with black stripe when found on open substrate with white sand or rubble (Ref. 48635).
Form schools among the spines of Diadema or staghorn corals, and feed on minute crustaceans in the zooplankton. Remarkable for their strange body shape and swimming habit: the body is encased in an armor of thin, transparent plates; they swim in synchronized groups, each fish in a vertical position with the snout pointing downwards.
