Adults occur on clear coastal reefs, often in bays and semi-exposed habitats (Ref.
48636
). Found on the seaward edge of reefs, among corals like
Acropora
,
Pocillopora
,
Seriatopora
,
Porites
, and
Millepora
where they feed on coral tissues (Ref.
1602
). Benthic (Ref.
58302
). Males prepare nesting sites by overgrazing a patch of coral (Ref.
9710
). 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
). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 30874.
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201
): 24.7 - 29.3, mean 28.3 °C (based on 3063 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804
): PD
50
= 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245
).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278
): 4.3 ±0.4 se; based on diet studies.
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 = 83.8 [40.2, 156.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.645 [0.353, 1.107] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [17.7, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.129 [0.074, 0.219] g/100g; Selenium = 20.8 [10.8, 43.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 104 [29, 361] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.16 [0.74, 1.74] mg/100g (wet weight);
