Name formed from the Latin adverb

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 3 - 160 m (Ref.
9823
). Tropical; 30°N - 30°S, 30°E - 134°W
Dorsal
spines
(total): 12;
Dorsal
soft rays
(total): 10;
Anal
spines
: 3;
Anal
soft rays
: 12. Young easily identified by the unusual coloration. Adults normally have an oval shaped black saddle near the tail, but it may become indistinct in large males (Ref.
48636
).
Adults occur on deep reef slopes rich with invertebrates such as sponges and seawhips, but young adults are occasionally seen much shallower (Ref.
48636
). Usually solitary in coral and rocky reefs. Feed mainly on benthic, hard-shelled, invertebrates such as mollusks and crustaceans. Protogynous (Ref.
55080
). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref.
205
).
