Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 9; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 10; Vértebra: 25. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D IX,11; A III,10; pectoral-fin rays 13; upper procurrent caudal-fin rays 6-7, lower 7-8; principal caudal-fin rays 8 + 7 (BPBM 15838 with 8 + 8); circumpeduncular scales 18-20; body depth 3.6-4.2 in SL; head length 2.5-3.1 in SL; snout length 2.9-4.0 in HL; orbit diameter 3.9-5.3 in HL; orbit diameter 1.0-1.7 in snout length; caudal-peduncle length 2.4-4.0 in HL; pored lateral-line scales 26-28; scale rows above lateral line 3, below lateral line 9-10; total gill rakers 13-14. Colouration: head and anterior body bright yellow, darkening to orange posteriorly above median lateral black stripe; median lateral black stripe is constricted or attenuated to about origin of anal fin, expanding past this point toward edge of caudal fin; upper and lowermost edge of caudal fin light blue to lilac; pelvic fins are translucent yellow; pectoral fins translucent, its lower base with a large elliptical spot (Ref. 138889).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Inhabits coral-rich areas of seaward and clear lagoon reefs (Ref. 9710). Occur solitarily or in pairs. Creates 'cleaning ' stations to which fishes come to have crustacean ectoparasites and mucus removed (Ref. 2334); client fish Myripristis violacea (Ref. 138889).
