Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 5; Vertebrae: 25. This species is distinguished by the following characters: elongated middle pectoral rays; nasal spines absent; relatively long dorsal spines, longest is 3.2-3.3 in HL; relatively deep bodied, greatest depth 3.1-3.2 in SL; vertical scale rows 32; longitudinal scale rows above lateral line 5, below lateral line 12, vertebrae 25; D XIII,8; A III,5; pectoral rays 15. Colour in life generally blotchy reddish with scattered brown spots and streaks; dorsal fin with large reddish vertically elongate patches along the base and the red distal tips on the spinous portion, continuous with red stripe across middle of soft portion; a row of reddish spots along the outer margin of soft dorsal fin; caudal fin with a red base and about 4 irregular red bars; large red spots scattered on anal fin; translucent pectoral fin with faint reddish spot and pelvic fins whitish (Ref. 90102).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in relatively flat or gradually sloping sand-rubble bottom with scattered rock and coral outcrops in 60 m depth (Ref. 90102).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00606 - 0.02615), b=3.03 (2.86 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
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).
