Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 12. Body elongate, depth 6.2-6.3 in SL; head and anterior body cylindrical; eye large, 3.55-4.2 in HL; interorbital space nearly flat, 5.0-5.5 in HL; two pairs of large, well-space, recurved canine teeth anteriorly in each jaw; remaining conical teeth uniserial and small except for canine at corner of mouth; distinctive red-striped pattern consisting of midlateral red stripe from front of lips, faintly through eye, and continuing to end of caudal fin and a narrow red stripe dorsally on head and body.

Deep coastal to outer reef habitats. First found in about 100 m, specimens have since been found much shallower and ranging as far north as Japan. A second new species in the genus was recently found in the Maldives (Ref. 48636). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.8 - 28, mean 26.5 °C (based on 90 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00207 - 0.01214), b=3.15 (2.94 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
