Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 4; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 10; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8; Vertebre: 20 - 21.
Inhabits coastal reef slopes, usually on rubble and sand near large coral formations (Ref. 48636). Found in small loose groups and usually a large male dominates sections of reef (Ref. 48636). Small groups occur with one adult male (Ref. 90102).
