Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

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=0.01122 (0.00528 - 0.02384), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 146 [88, 267] mg/100g; Iron = 1.01 [0.61, 1.61] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [18, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.166 [0.101, 0.276] g/100g; Selenium = 25.9 [13.6, 48.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 106 [38, 298] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.06 [1.40, 2.92] mg/100g (wet weight);
