More on authors: Bloch & Schneider . Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology Marine; reef-associated; depth range 1 - 15 m (Ref. 9710 ).

Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm Max length : 46.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 7251 ); common length : 25.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 3802 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 9. Young adults with black saddle-shaped markings at upper end of pectoral fin base; often vague, pale saddle-shaped area on top of caudal peduncle; and dorsal, anal, and pelvic fins red or orange (Ref. 26938 ). Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Occurs in coral reefs and adjacent habitats, the young especially in seagrass beds. Juveniles or primary-phase adults rapidly assume a mottled pattern with which they blend with the substratum when they come to rest on the bottom. Feeds on benthic algae and seagrasses. Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae Although protogyny was propossed for this species (Ref. 27876 ), probably because testicular characteristics showed a secondary characteristic of sex-changed males, observations of overlapping size ranges of males and females, and males maturing at the same ages and sizes as did females, strongly suggest gonochorism (Ref. 103751 ).
