Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8; Vertebrae: 24. Anal fin rarely with 7 soft rays; predorsal scales 3-4; preopercular margin serrate; preopercular ridge mainly smooth except a few crenations or weak serrae on lower portion; body depth 2.6-2.9 in SL; overall color pale with dusky black bar at base of caudal fin, its posterior margin concave. Remarks: gill raker count including rudiments 22-24.

Usually on sheltered reefs, with abundant coral. May form large aggregations near the bottom. Usually hovering close above dense branching corals or feeding high above in currents on zooplankton (Ref. 48635).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805)
PD₅₀ = 0.5000 many relatives (e.g. carps) 0.5 - 2.0 few relatives (e.g. lungfishes)

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278)
3.6 ±0.5 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278)
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.)

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153)
Low vulnerability (13 of 100)

Price category (Ref. 80766)
High
