Max length : 3.4 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 27343); 2.5 cm SL (female)

Occurs over coral and rocky bottoms on the mainland coast and at or off coastal islands; solitary or in groups of up to 6 individuals on coral heads, among crustose algae and encrusting sponges, or near sea urchins, seeking protection among the spines. Cleans other fishes, e.g. the blenniid Ophioblennius atlanticus, pomacentrid Abudefduf saxatilis, and the serranid Mytoperca rubra.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.6 - 27.3, mean 25.9 °C (based on 116 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 321 [137, 774] mg/100g; Iron = 1.25 [0.59, 2.62] mg/100g; Protein = 17.7 [15.7, 19.5] %; Omega3 = 0.102 [0.039, 0.238] g/100g; Selenium = 26.3 [9.3, 69.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 138 [32, 576] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.43 [2.02, 5.49] mg/100g (wet weight);
