Ökologie
seewasser riff-verbunden, usually 8 - 35 m (Ref. 27115). Tropical; 23°C - 28°C (Ref. 27115)

Größe / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 21.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 9710)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 4 - 5; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 23 - 28; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 19 - 24. Colour dark brown to nearly black (in life with faint irregular longitudinal bluish lines following scale rows). Snout protruding. Body depth 1.9 to 2.1 times in SL. Lower teeth with 5 denticulations, the central one twice as large as adjacent ones (Ref 9808).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Inhabits lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 33204). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Its small and numerous pharyngeal teeth suggest a diet that consists mainly of filamentous algae (Ref. 33204).
