Espinhos dorsais (total) : 10; Raios dorsais (total) : 13; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 6 - 7.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Common along surge-swept reef fronts and submarine terraces to a depth of about 11 m. Usually seen hiding among branches of live corals (Stylophora mordax, Pocillopora elegans, P. eydouxi, or P. verrucosa). They retreat deep into the coral when approached (Ref. 9710). Adults fhey feed on small crustaceans (Ref. 89972). Oviparous, monogamous (Ref. 52884). Highly priced aquarium fish, requires well-oxygenated water and fades in captivity (Ref. 37816).
