Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 19.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 9823 )

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-11; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 10 - 11; Vertebrae : 25. Usually bright green in algae habitat, but pale or with longitudinal dark bands on plain rubble (Ref. 48636 ). Head of male with intricate reticulate pattern of bands that varies from one individual to another; small blackish spot on anus. Juveniles and females with dark dots dorsally and posteriorly; these are lost in males. Anterior lateral line scales with 1-3 pores; 8-13 suborbital pores. Anterior dorsal and anal soft rays longer than posterior rays; male pelvic fins not reaching the anus.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits shallow protected coral reefs and nearby silty sand and rubble bottoms (Ref. 2334 ). Feeds mainly on hard-shelled prey, including mollusks, crustaceans and sea urchins (Ref. 9823 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 28 - 29.3, mean 28.8 °C (based on 1830 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00424 - 0.01297), b=3.03 (2.88 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.4   ±0.40 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (13 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Very high . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 77 [45, 131] mg/100g; Iron = 0.659 [0.374, 1.246] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [15.7, 20.7] %; Omega3 = 0.132 [0.082, 0.207] g/100g; Selenium = 18.9 [11.0, 35.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 148 [44, 557] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.7 [1.2, 2.7] mg/100g (wet weight);
