S. strigiventer
and
S. bandanensis
are similar, but in
S. strigiventer
the uppermost lateral blue streak rather than the lowermost one extends to the tail (Ref.
1602
).
Inhabits seagrass beds and areas of mixed sand, rubble, and algae of inner reef flats and shallow lagoons. Female length is from Ref. 9137. Swims in small aggregations over large areas. Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 48636.
