Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11-13; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 11 - 13. Lips smooth, lacking papillae on edges. Least interorbital width going 3.5 times or less in greatest diameter of orbit. Base of lower opercular spine concealed by scales. Anterior 1-3, usually 2, lateral line scales bearing a small spine. Iris lappet bearing short branches with bifurcate tips.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Taken over sand associated with rocks and coral reefs to about 30 m (Ref. 9790 ). Buries itself partially in the sand for camouflage. Feeds mainly on crabs and prawns, also on fishes. Also found in sandy fringe of coral reefs (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.6 - 29.3, mean 28.1 °C (based on 2283 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00246 - 0.01120), b=3.04 (2.85 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.8   ±0.66 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 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 54.8 [27.6, 146.9] mg/100g; Iron = 0.621 [0.286, 1.425] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [15.8, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.127 [0.057, 0.356] g/100g; Selenium = 34.2 [17.2, 89.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 82.4 [30.0, 212.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.18 [0.76, 1.80] mg/100g (wet weight);
