Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 36.7 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 97602); common length : 10.0 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 5450)
Often found in groups in coral-rich areas (Ref. 9710) or on rocky bottoms (Ref. 30573). It small and numerous pharyngeal teeth suggest a diet that consists mainly of filamentous algae (Ref. 33204). Occasionally caught by traps and trawls (Ref. 68964).
