More on author: Kner . Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology Marine; reef-associated; depth range 0 - 30 m (Ref. 128797 ), usually 2 - 15 m (Ref. 37816 ). Tropical; 30°N - 24°S Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri Pacific Ocean: Christmas Island in the eastern Indian Ocean (Ref. 30874 ), then from the Philippines to Samoa, north to the Ryukyu Islands, south to the southern Great Barrier Reef. Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm Max length : 30.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2334 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 9. Males distinct and head looks bright yellow underwater; females drab with white teeth and some pale spots (Ref. 48636 ). Scales large. 4 median predorsal scales; a transverse pair of smaller scales which overlap medially in mid-dorsal line located directly anterior to 1st median scale; 3 scale rows on cheek, lower row with 1-2 (usually 2) scales. Caudal fin slightly rounded to truncate in initial phase; moderately to deeply emarginate in terminal phase. Adults in initial phase without canines on upper plate, 1 on lower; terminal-phase fish with 1-2 canines on upper and lower plates. Lips largely or entirely cover dental plates. Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Inhabits coral-rich areas of outer lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 9710 ). Usually solitary (Ref. 9710 ). Females usually in small groups with a male nearby; they may mix with females of similar species (Ref. 48636 ). An uncommon fish patchily distributed through much of its range.
