: 25. Presence of 4 median predorsal scales; 3 rows of scales on cheek, the upper row with 6-7 scales, the middle row with 6 scales, and the lower row with 1 or 2 scales; 1 or 2 laterally projecting canines posteriorly on side of dental plates of adults; lips covering more than 3/4 of dental plates; dorsal fin moderately high, the longest dorsal spine 2.1-2.6 in head length; caudal fin truncate in young, double marginate in initial-phase fish, and somewhat lunate in terminal males. Initial phase fish brownish pink to rose pink, the throat and thorax green with green stripes extending posteriorly across abdomen; naked part of caudal fin blackish with orange lobes and a broad whitish posterior margin; body of terminal males pink and green, with blue and pink stripes ventrally; head blue with pink stripes ( a broad one on snout passing through lower eye to pectoral-fin base, and another from behind eye across upper part of operculum); naked part of caudal fin purple centrally, green posteriorly, the lobes blue with a pink submarginal band.
Found in coastal to outer reef crests and along drop-offs, usually in small groups (Ref.
48636
); occurs at depths greater than 20 m (Ref.
40928
).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201
): 24.4 - 28.5, mean 27.4 °C (based on 70 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804
): PD
50
= 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00436 - 0.02401), b=3.09 (2.90 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245
).
Resilience (Ref.
120179
): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153
): Low vulnerability (15 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155
): Calcium = 62 [35, 108] mg/100g; Iron = 0.828 [0.529, 1.410] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.0631 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 22.8 [11.3, 42.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 52.1 [13.0, 208.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.63 [1.86, 3.63] mg/100g (wet weight);
