Größe / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 9.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 9710); common length : 7.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 37816)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 14; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 16 - 18; Afterflossenstacheln: 3; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 17 - 18. Its ground color is variable, ranging from almost red to light apricot. The barring can be reduced to a small patch behind the operculum, and in rare cases, be entirely absent. The blue trim on the soft dorsal and anal fins is absent or reduced in females and highly developed in males.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
A common species (Ref. 9710) found singly or in small groups in exposed outer reef slopes and occasionally in clear lagoon reefs. Prefers areas of mixed dead and living corals with numerous shelter holes and passages (Ref. 1602). Feeds mainly on benthic algae. Forms harems of 3-7 individuals. Occasionally exported through the aquarium trade (Ref. 48391).
