Dorsal fin XII, 14, membrane attached to caudal fin, with deep notch above last spine, first spine slightly higher than second; anal fin II, 15; pectoral rays 15; pelvic fin I, 4; caudal fin procurrent rays 10-14. Vertebrae 10 + 20. LL, without scales but with scalelike flaps; LL tubes 1-11, canal ends below 7th dorsal ray and caudal-fin base. Lower lip smooth mesially, plicate laterally. Upper lip crenulae 37-51. Gill rakers 23-29. Cephalic pore system complex; midsnout pores present. Cirri, supraorbital 4-14, nasal 4-19; nuchal 27-38, in 4 groups, bases of ventralmost groups slightly expanded. Adults with brown body; red spots or narrow lines on snout and around the eye; iris silvery (Ref.
529
). Anterior nare is tubular and provided with an apical lid that prevents the penetration of sand particles (Ref.
94108
).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref.
126274
); Adults inhabit exposed seaward reefs where it usually shelters at bases or among the branches of
Pocilloporid
corals (Ref.
1602
). Feeds on benhic algae (Ref.
89972
). Benthic (Ref.
58302
). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref.
205
), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref.
94114
). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref.
94114
).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201
): 24.9 - 29.3, mean 28.2 °C (based on 1525 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804
): PD
50
= 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01072 (0.00480 - 0.02393), b=3.01 (2.82 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245
).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278
): 2.0 ±0.00 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 = 138 [72, 238] mg/100g; Iron = 0.908 [0.544, 1.483] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [17.1, 19.3] %; Omega3 = 0.142 [0.085, 0.234] g/100g; Selenium = 23.5 [12.9, 45.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 127 [36, 437] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.58 [1.75, 3.68] mg/100g (wet weight);
