Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 16.5 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 137577)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 8; Raios dorsais (total) : 13; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 10 - 11. Juveniles easily identified by the color pattern and rounded snout. Males become brightly colored and head usually green with a yellow band following on the body (Ref. 48636). Head naked, no scales dorsally on opercle. Initial phase with a broad blackish stripe from snout through eye to caudal-fin base (Ref 9823).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Occurs in aggregations over shallow lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 9710) and on reef flats (Ref. 9823). Feeds mainly on crustacean zooplankton (Ref. 1602). Spawns at dusk above reefs (Ref. 90102). Rarely marketed (Ref. 2334). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
