Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 14 - 16; Spine anali: 4; Raggi anali molli: 10 - 12. Scale coarsely ctenoid; no pair of tooth patches at front of lower jaw outside gape; color is uniform bright red (Ref. 2334).
An uncommon inhabitant of reefs; hides in deep crevices during the day and roams the reef at night (Ref. 9710). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Feeds on small crustaceans, crustacean larvae, and small fishes (Ref. 9710). Solitary and seldom seen; cryptic (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.5 - 28.8, mean 27.5 °C (based on 432 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01778 (0.00696 - 0.04547), b=3.02 (2.79 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.4 se; based on diet studies.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
