Anal
soft rays
: 8. The only
Cheilinus
that has 10 dorsal spines. Exhibits a coloration very similar to
C. trilobatus
, but has black and white specks on its pelvic, anal and caudal fins, while
C. trilobatus
has vertical red, white and black streaks on its body scales. Large adults of both species have numerous red spots and streaks on the head and trilobed caudal fins.
Adults inhabit lagoon and coastal reefs, in areas with mixed sand, rubble, and coral (Ref.
9710
). Occasionally in grassy areas. Feed mainly on benthic invertebrates such as mollusks and crustaceans. Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref.
205
).
