marien rifbewoner; diepte 0 - 61 m (Ref. 58302), usually 5 - 40 m (Ref. 27115). Tropical; 28°N - 26°S

Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturiteit: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 25.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 9710)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 8; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 27 - 29; Anale stekels: 3; Anale zachte stralen: 25 - 26. Gill rakers on anterior row 21-25, on posterior row 25. Juveniles differ greatly from adults. They have deeper bodies and are bright orange-red with numerous dark chevrons. Adults appear uniformly black from a distance but actually have numerous dark green horizontal pinstripes.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
An uncommon species that inhabits seaward rocky or coral reefs (Ref. 9710). Juveniles found in relatively deep coral rich areas (Ref. 42056). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Feeds on film algae (Ref. 89972). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
