Lateral line, continuous anterodorsally with simple pores below dorsal spines from 6-7th to 9-10th, disconnected bi-pored series posteroventrally ending below 9th dorsal spine to 1st segmented ray. Mandibular pores 5-7 Lips margin entire. Occipital crest low (up to 2.6 mm) in males, most females only have faint indication of ridge-like crest precursor except greatest specimens which may have a developed ridge up to 0.6 mm (Ref. 559 , 9962 ). Body depth at anal-fin origin 6.8-7.3 in SL. Male body with vertical bars olive brown separated by paler interspaces, and also with dark thin horizontal stripes; also with spots near the tail; preopercular spot dark; dorsal fin spots brown, forming bands. Female with vertical dark H-shaped bars; dorsal fin spotted, caudal fin with 4-5 dark bars (Ref. 48636 , 90102 ). Exhibits geographical color pattern variation (Ref. 9962 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults occur in intertidal zones in large rock pools or coastal bays (Ref. 48636 ). Found near-shore (Ref. 9962 ); common in tide pools (Ref. 559 ). They feed on algae scraped from rubble or rock surfaces. Sometimes numerous individuals can be seen clinging to rocks out of the water when the level drops on the low of the swell. When disturbed in rock pools during low tide, they may jump out of the water to get to other rock pools or safer deeper water nearby (Ref. 48636 ). 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 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 25.4 - 29.3, mean 28.8 °C (based on 1414 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5020   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00335 - 0.01640), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.0   ±0.0 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 = 122 [59, 218] mg/100g; Iron = 0.748 [0.407, 1.330] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [17, 19] %; Omega3 = 0.065 [0.032, 0.125] g/100g; Selenium = 18.3 [8.5, 42.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 102 [24, 432] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.37 [1.53, 3.52] mg/100g (wet weight);
