Short description
Morphology
|
Morphometrics
This species is distinguished from its congeners except
A. exulatus
and
A. schultzi
by the position of the fourth supraorbital pore, anteromedial to the posterior nostril and separated from it by an interval of normal, pigmented skin; fewer vertebrae 98-108 (vs. 110-117 in
A. exulatus
and 105-113 in
A. schultzi
); longer snout-anus distance 45.1-50.6% TL (vs. 40.3-45.1% in
A. exulatus
and 41.5-45.1% in
A. schultzi
); with discrete, sharply defined pale spots (vs. larger, more diffuse pale areas oriented vertically in
A. exulatus
and uniform brown of
A. schultzi
) (Ref.
85321
).
Most specimens were collected in relatively shallow water on coral reefs and rocky areas along the shore and are not recorded deeper than 10 m. Cryptic and rarely, if ever seen except when collected with ichthyocides (Ref.
85321
).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201
): 26.8 - 29.3, mean 28.5 °C (based on 1746 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804
): PD
50
= 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00069 (0.00033 - 0.00144), b=3.12 (2.93 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278
): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
