Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 12 - 14; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14 - 16; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 15 - 18. Small dark spots on body; upper lip uniformly dusky or with scattered spots; pale area behind eye followed by an irregular dark mark (Ref. 4404).
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Adults occur in the intertidal zone of lagoons and wave-swept seaward reefs (Ref. 9710). They inhabit holes of limestone matrix at low tide (Ref. 90102). At low tide they may be found in small pockets of water left in pitted limestone. 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).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.9 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 2647 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00356 - 0.01695), b=3.00 (2.81 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 160 [76, 285] mg/100g; Iron = 0.847 [0.460, 1.523] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [17, 19] %; Omega3 = 0.0688 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 17.5 [8.0, 41.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 114 [27, 483] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.68 [1.71, 4.02] mg/100g (wet weight);
