Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 8 - 11. Adults developing a distinctive black blotch covering the rears of the dorsal and anal fins (Ref. 37816 ). Display a bright white band over the tail (Ref. 48636 ). White bar often present on caudal peduncle (this pattern very changeable). Red lines radiating posteriorly from eye continuous across opercle to posterior opercular edge. Membranes of spinous portion of dorsal fin smooth, not incised (Ref 9823).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Usually solitary in coral rich areas of clear lagoon and seaward reefs. Hovers well above the bottom (Ref. 9710 , 48636 ). Young secretive in soft corals and hydrozoans (Ref. 48636 ). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302 ). Feeds mainly on fishes, shrimps and other crustaceans (Ref. 9823 ). May be ciguatoxic (Ref. 37816 ). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 23.6 - 28.9, mean 27.3 °C (based on 690 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5020   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01585 (0.00707 - 0.03555), b=2.95 (2.76 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.1   ±0.70 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 ):  Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Very high . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 39 [14, 82] mg/100g; Iron = 0.643 [0.226, 1.421] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [15.8, 20.9] %; Omega3 = 0.157 [0.080, 0.306] g/100g; Selenium = 42.4 [13.9, 124.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 101 [32, 370] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.48 [0.66, 2.58] mg/100g (wet weight);
