Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 12; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-12; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 10 - 12. Color is alternating blue and yellow stripes. The caudal fin has a broad yellow upper lobe margin and a broad black lower lobe margin. The margin of the spinous portion of the dorsal fin is also yellow; the anal fin is largely black.

Adults occur in small to large aggregations in exposed outer reef slopes and rocky inshore reefs (Ref. 3921). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Diet consists of zooplankton, especially copepods (Ref. 3921). 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).

IUCN Red List Status (Ref. 115185)
