Overview |
Main identification features
- yellow stripe
- yellow tail fin
- gill rakers: 33
- pectoral: 17 rays
Dorsal fin VIII + I, 8 (first dorsal spine minute, often imbedded); anal rays I-II, 6; pectoral rays 16-17 (usually 17), fin length 19.2-23.2% (average 21.1%) of standard length; barbel length 20-26% (average 22.9%) of standard length; gill rakers 31-36 (average 33); lateral line scales 36-42.
Body silvery white with a blue-edged yellow stripe along its center; tail and other median fins yellow.
Size: reaches 31 cm.
Habitat: rocky and Coral reefs and adjacent sand areas.
Depth: 2-115 m.
Widespread throughout the Indo-central Pacific. While it was not thought to occur in the tropical eastern Pacific its occurrence there was demonstrated by genetic analysis. Very similar to M. dentatus, but differs in having more pectoral fin rays, a slightly longer pectoral fin, slightly longer barbels and more gill rakers. These differences are so slight that in practice it is probably not possible to separate all individals of the two species when they are together at the same location.
