Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 9. This species is distinguished by the following characters: second spine of first dorsal fin when adpressed reaching posteriorly to between base of spine and base of 4th ray of the second dorsal fin; some pectoral fin-rays branched; fifth pelvic fin-ray unbranched; with scales in predorsal midline; absence of cheek or opercular scales, total gill rakers 15 or more; cheek with 6 papillae in row c; bony interorbital of less than 55%, the width of the pupil; posterodorsal interorbital trench do not extend laterally beyond 5th papilla of row p. Colouration: cheek and anterior part of head have orange to red spots (light unpigmented areas in preserved specimens) less than pupil-diameter in size; nape and body with a diamond-mesh pattern formed by melanophores thickly lining entire scale pockets (Ref. 123489).
Captured using rotenone along the coast with beach rock bommie surrounded by sand and patch reef. Area of occurrence may include live corals such as Acropora, Astreopora, Pavona, Porites, Millepora, Pectinia coral, favids and others (Ref. 123489).

50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
