Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 120 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 5213 )

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12-13; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 12. Caudal fin slightly rounded in females, truncate and with filamentous rays in large males; pelvic fins of males very long. Large males also become uniformly dark-green and develop a gibbus forehead and an elongate first dorsal spine (Ref. 1602 ). Juveniles distinct with the false eyes, shaded by orange (Ref. 48636 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in the vicinity of sand or rubble patches of exposed outer reef flats, lagoon reefs, and seaward reefs (Ref. 1602 ), often in semi-exposed surge zones (Ref. 48636 ). Adults solitary. Juveniles common in shallow tide pools (Ref. 30573 ). Feeds mainly on hard-shelled invertebrates including crustaceans, mollusks and sea urchins (Ref. 9823 ). Minimum depth reported from Ref. 27115. Randall (1999, Ref. 33411) question identity of specimens exceeding 70 cm.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.6 - 29, mean 27.5 °C (based on 892 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00475 - 0.01391), b=3.13 (2.98 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.7   ±0.53 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Very high . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 18.2 [7.0, 45.9] mg/100g; Iron = 0.437 [0.249, 0.789] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [15.9, 21.0] %; Omega3 = 0.099 [0.049, 0.200] g/100g; Selenium = 40.8 [15.7, 115.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 62.6 [18.7, 212.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.45 [0.69, 2.60] mg/100g (wet weight);
