Ecologie
marien rifbewoner; diepte 2 - 40 m (Ref. 58047), usually 3 - 20 m (Ref. 40849). Tropical; 33°N - 26°S, 99°W - 14°W

Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturiteit: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 46.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 7251)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 2; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 34 - 36; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 29 - 32. Adults are brown, with or without many prominent white spots on body and head; caudal fin black with obscure curved median white bar and two indistinct white basal spots (Ref. 13442). Males are readily distinguished from females of about same size by the larger spines on caudal peduncle and by orange color of patch of setae anterior to the peduncular spines on males (Ref. 13442).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Inhabits coral reefs or rocky bottoms (Ref. 5217). Found among gorgonians. Occurs in pairs (Ref. 5521). Feeds mainly on sponges, gorgonians, and algae (Ref. 9710) but also eats hydroids and stinging coral (Ref. 13442).
