Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 30573 )

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 11. The initial phase is olivaceous to brownish yellow dorsally, white ventrally, with a black zigzag stripe running from eye to upper caudal peduncle (continuing anteriorly as a yellow stripe from the eye to the snout). This primary phase is similar to H. trimaculatus except for the black zigzag stripe along its back (Ref. 1602 ). The terminal phase is green, the zigzag stripe lavender-pink with its anterior portion overlaid by a black blotch.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Common in shallow lagoons or bays; usually over sand, rubble, or seagrass bottom (Ref. 41878 ), rather than on coral reefs. May be found in groups (Ref. 90102 ). Usually solitary and aggressive towards members of its own species. Feeds on small crustaceans by picking them off the sandy bottom (Ref. 5503 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 26.2 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 2756 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00574 - 0.01742), b=3.15 (3.00 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.5   ±0.50 se; based on food items. Generation time: 1.8 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.6). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (23 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Very high . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 81.2 [48.7, 136.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.733 [0.426, 1.332] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [15.7, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.147 [0.096, 0.229] g/100g; Selenium = 24 [15, 43] μg/100g; VitaminA = 108 [35, 388] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.57 [1.09, 2.43] mg/100g (wet weight);
