Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10 - 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 17-18; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8. Pinkish brown to brownish orange, with six faint brown bands extending across body and several diffuse brown diagonal bands behind and in front of eyes on head; faint spotting also present in some individuals; fins pale (Ref. 33839).

Occurs inshore (Ref. 7300), in caves and beneath ledges (Ref. 33839). Probably also at depths greater than 22 m (Ref. 33839). Secretive (Ref. 33839). Feeds on small fishes (Ref. 33839).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00391 - 0.02334), b=2.97 (2.77 - 3.17), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.73 se; Based on food items.

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

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (25 of 100) .
