Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10 - 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 10; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 9. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: dorsal rays X or XI,9 or 10; anal rays III,9; pectoral rays 15; lateral-line scales 15-17 + 6-9; median predorsal scales 6; horizontal scale rows on cheek below eye 2; gill rakers 15-17; body depth 2.6-2.9 in SL; head length 3.0-3.1 in SL; snout length 3.7-3.8 in head; median head profile of adult male slightly concave at interorbital; caudal fin rounded; pelvic fins of males elongate and filamentous, but generally not reaching beyond base of first few segmented anal-fin rays; diagnostic live colour pattern features of terminal phase (male) include a general reddish body, grading to blue ventrally with large blue patch just behind head and prominent orange zone on lower body just above belly region; spinous dorsal fin mainly red; second dorsal, anal, and caudal fins blue basally grading to yellowish on outer portion with blue speckling/banding and with blue fin rays; pelvic fins bluish; pectoral fins translucent with prominent blue band across base; and initial juvenile and female phases mainly reddish with a small blackish spot on dorsal portion of caudal peduncle (Ref. 138626).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index
(Ref. 82804) 		PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight a=0.01072 (0.00429 - 0.02678), b=3.03 (2.81 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level
(Ref. 69278) 		3.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience
(Ref. 120179) 		High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability
(Ref. 59153) 		Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
