Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. Diagnosis: Distinguished by the combination of following features: predorsal scales absent; anterior extension of body scales up to the shoulder spot; body light brown with large orange spots or stripes on the head; a dark greyish-orange shoulder spot above the pectoral fin base; and a grey iris with several orange spots. These orange spots on head are grading to red on the branchiostegal membrane (Ref. 51083); characterized further by having longitudinal scale series 23-25; cheeks and opercle without scales; depth of body 3.8-4.2 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Inhabits outer reef caves and crevices in 5-20 m (Ref. 90102).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 28 - 29.2, mean 28.8 °C (based on 952 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

50 = 0.5000 [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.
