Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 12; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 13 - 14; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 15 - 16; Vértebra: 36. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: pelvic-fin rays I, 3, dorsal fin usually XII,13, anal fin II,15-16 (usually 16), no blackened stripes, nape green or white and presence of numerous tiny red spots along body, diminishing in size posteriorly (Ref. 94079).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Found either solitary or in small groups of up to 10 individuals; in small holes or associated with sea-urchins and sponges on the rocky reefs (Ref. 94079). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
