Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 13; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 13. Characterized by whitish body color with five light orange-brown, diffuse bars; brown saddles dorsally between main dark bars; caudal fin yellow with reddish orange central area and oblique blue bands; pelvic fins joined by low membrane, absence of frenum; longitudinal scale series 97-103; midline of nape without scales; scales on side of nape extending forward to above posterior margin of operculum; greatest depth of body 7.7-8.2 in SL; lanceolate caudal fin, longer than head (Ref. 90102).

Associated with Alpheus randalli, the red-banded alpheid shrimp, on coastal sand flats, slopes and in deep lagoons at depths of about 3-30 m. Inhabits coastal sand slopes in 6-30 meters depth (Ref. 48637).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.9 - 29, mean 28 °C (based on 160 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), 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).
