Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 2 - 80 m (Ref. 9710), usually 4 - 60 m (Ref. 27115). Tropical; 23°C - 27°C (Ref. 27115); 35°N - 7°S, 99°W - 36°W

Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 19.3 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9626)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 12. Juveniles yellow with silvery blue stripe along side. Super males (terminal males), have black vertical bar behind tip of pectoral fin, merging with broad black area on upper side, continuing to top of caudal peduncle and upper caudal fin. One of the easiest wrasses to identify at all its stages (Ref. 26938).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Commonly found on shallow and deep reefs and exposed rocky ledges. Feeds on various invertebrates. Forms leks during breeding (Ref. 55367). A protogynous hermaphrodite (Ref. 55367). Constantly on the move but easily attracted by divers. Generally of no interest to fisheries because of its small average size (Ref. 5217).
