Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 8 - 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 17 - 20; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 12 - 14.
Found in shallow inshore reef habitats, often in strong current zones to about 15 m depth (Ref. 48636). Are protandrous hermaphrodites (Ref. 55367). Each pair is monogamous (Ref. 55367). Each anemone with a large female, a smaller functional male and several stunted juveniles; with the removal of the female, the male changes sex and the largest of the juveniles develops into a functional male (Ref. 4391). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Associated with the anemones: Heteractis magnifica, and Stichodactyla mertensii (Ref. 5911). May be reared in captivity (Ref. 35420).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Benthic spawner. Sex reversal is completed in less than 63 days (Ref. 34185). Length at sex change = 7.2 cm TL (Ref. 55367). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Also Ref. 7471.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.6 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 2542 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00651 - 0.03363), 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): 2.7 ±0.31 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 = 111 [62, 177] mg/100g; Iron = 0.785 [0.498, 1.219] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [17.5, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.146 [0.094, 0.224] g/100g; Selenium = 21.5 [12.8, 38.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 143 [49, 416] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.07 [1.45, 2.84] mg/100g (wet weight);
