Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 12 - 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 18 - 20; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 20 - 21. Body with 6-7 irregular bands (Ref. 4404). Dark spot present distally on anterior part of dorsal fin; females with dark spots on vertical fins, males more evenly colored (Ref. 4404).
Inhabit shallow shore line water of intertidal reef flats from 0.5 to 1.5 m depth where the substrate consists of a thin carpet of algal turf and sand (Ref. 205). Benthic (Ref. 58302). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
