Max length : 8.5 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 48636)

Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 3 - 4; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 25 - 27; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 17 - 21. Pale grey on upper half, whitish below with bold black mid-lateral stripe. Dorsal rays usually IV; segmented caudal rays 11-12; outer lobe of caudal fins filamentous in adult males; body depth ca. 5.0 in SL. Maximum size to 6.5 cm TL (Ref. 90102).

Adults are found in coral reefs, usually on sheltered inshore reefs (Ref. 41819) which occur mainly solitarily (Ref. 48636). 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). Mimicked by Cheilodipterus parazonatus and juvenile Scolopsis margaritifer (Ref. 90102) and juvenile Cheilodipterus zonatus (Ref. 9710). Also mimicked by the apogonid C nigrotaeniatus which is much more widespread and adapts in coloration to various Meiacanthus spp. Minimum depth of 1 m reported from Ref. 90102.
