Enlarged melanophores that form large stellate or squarish spots, usually more than 1 per scale below lateral line (Ref. 26938). Vertically elongate blackish blotch at caudal fin base (Ref. 13442).
Commonly found on shallow rocky and coral bottoms (Ref. 9626), in empty conch shells, rubble, or empty containers. Abundant where Acropora palmata abound (Ref. 9626). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Presence of buccal pouch for brooding eggs (Ref. 39366).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 25.4 - 28.2, mean 27.4 °C (based on 719 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00509 - 0.02362), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.5 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.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
