Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 9. This species is distinguished by the following features: 6 median predorsal scales; 3 scale rows on cheek 1(5), 2(5-6), 3(2); lips largely covering the dental plates; caudal fin is truncate to slightly rounded. Colour overall is green to purplish or bluish, sometimes a pink patch on pectoral region, often with lime-green saddle on upper caudal-fin base, a dark green 'moustache' and pale green patch on cheek (Ref. 90102 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits coral-rich areas of outer channels and seaward reefs (Ref. 9710 ). Occurs singly or in small groups (Ref. 9710 ) over intertidal flats to graze on algae during high water mark (Ref. 48636 ).
