Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 6 - 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 7 - 8; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 9. Characterized by semi-transparent, with pale pink or reddish orange hue; covered with pepper-like pigmentation; snout with brown to reddish stripe on side; longitudinal scale series 22-26; head, nape, belly midline and breast without scales; opening of gill reaching to at least below edge of preopercle; depth of body at anus 5.3-7.1 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Inhabits solid sponges at moderate depths, usually in 10 meters or more, but probably depending on the occurrence of certain sponges (Ref. 48637). Collected from reef flats and lagoon and reef channels (Ref. 37816).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.7 - 28.8, mean 27.6 °C (based on 326 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
