Breve descrizione
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 11; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 15 - 17; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 13 - 15. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: coloration - fifth body stripe inflected toward the anal fin origin at an angle of 120-150° (usually 130°); lower abdomen usually with a broken stripe, as a series of 2-5 (usually 3) spots and short dashes (Ref. 123714).
Cross section: compressed.
Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Inhabits coastal and lagoon reefs, also in dense aggregations under ledges and in caves during the day (Ref. 9710). Also observed in rocky areas and occasionally in harbours, embankments, and coastal ports. Adults often school in large groups. It ranges between 10 and 30 m depth, but can occur as shallow as 0.3 m to as deep as 300 m (Ref. 123714). Young feeds on small crustaceans and algae (Ref. 3921).
