Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 14; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 14 - 16; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 17. Exhibits geographic color variations.
Adults inhabit inshore and offshore coral reefs (Ref. 7247). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).
