Indo-Pacific. Replaced by Apogon coccineus from the Red Sea to Persian Gulf and by Apogon erythrinus in the Hawaiian Islands (Ref. 37816 ).

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 5.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 90102 ); common length : 4.5 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 37816 )

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines : 2; Anal soft rays : 8. Distinguished by having the following characteristics: dorsal-fin rays VI-I, 9; anal-fin rays II,8; pectoral fin rays 13; pelvic fin rays I,5; pored lateral line scales 24; predorsal scales 5-6; large scale between first dorsal fin and lateral line 1; circumpeduncular scales 12; total gill rakers 15-16, developed gill rakers 8-9; full scale between first dorsal fin and lateral line 1, often with smaller second scale (Ref. 93839 ). Resembles A. unicolor but distinguished by fewer spines in the 1st dorsal fin (6 against 7), large scales, and fewer lateral line scales (23 against 25). Body color uniformly dark reddish, each scale mottled with brown. Attains 10 cm TL. Further characterized by having a semi-transparent red color, with a thin, dark red stripe on mid-lateral surface of the body (Ref. 93839 ) greatest depth of body 2.7-3.0 in SL (Ref. 90102 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found on inshore reefs, lagoons, and seaward reefs (Ref. 37816 ). Nocturnal species (Ref. 7300 ). Feeds on small benthic crustaceans (Ref. 37816 ). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 57178.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 23 - 28.5, mean 27 °C (based on 152 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00690 - 0.03171), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.5   ±0.50 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 281 [116, 644] mg/100g; Iron = 1.64 [0.79, 3.41] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [16.9, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.142 [0.053, 0.381] g/100g; Selenium = 52 [17, 138] μg/100g; VitaminA = 39.4 [8.1, 194.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.8 [1.6, 4.7] mg/100g (wet weight);
