Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 9; Raios dorsais (total) : 10; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 9. This species is distinguished by the following characters: median predorsal scales 5-7 (usually 6); 2 scale rows on cheek, 1(6-8), 2(6-8); pectoral-fin rays 15; dental plates well exposed, lips not covering the plates; 1-2 conical teeth on side of upper dental plate; caudal fin truncate. Colour of initial phase (IP) dark brown with broad pale bars on sides and pale caudal fin and caudal peduncle; male with greenish large pale cream patch below eye bordered entirely by a thick green line. Male greenish with pink scale edges, green central zone and outer margins on tail and large rectangular whitish area on cheek; female dark brown with 3-4 broad pale bars (Ref. 9793, 90102, 117228).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Found in clear coastal and inner reefs (Ref. 48636); in lagoons and channel reefs (Ref. 2334). Feeds by scraping algae from the substrate (Ref. 26993). Females usually in small groups and maybe mixed with other species when feeding; males solitary nearby (Ref. 48636). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
