Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 48636)
Type specimen collected from a depth of 30 m (Ref. 30829). Found solitary or in small groups (Ref. 90102) in rubble slopes with mixed low algae and invertebrates, usually in current-prone channels. Juveniles and females form small groups. Males usually seen singly, moving over large sections of reef (Ref. 48636).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 27.8 - 28.6, mean 28.4 °C (based on 28 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00466 - 0.02049), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±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).
