Écologie
marin récifal; non migrateur; profondeur 0 - 12 m (Ref. 9710). Tropical; 32°N - 30°S

Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 9710)
Épines dorsales (Total): 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 12-13; Épines anales 2; Rayons mous anaux: 11 - 13. This species occurs in 2 basic color phases: a blue-backed (leucopoma) phase and a gray to black (amabilis) phase usually with 2 light bars (Ref. 37816). Large blue-edged black spot at end of dorsal fin base, and yellow form with black spots at end of dorsal fin and its base (Ref. 48636). Body depth 2.3-2.5 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Adults occur in rubble-strewn surge channels, the outermost reaches of exposed reef flats, and the upper submarine terrace at 12 meters. Territorial but they generally occur in groups, and remains close to shelter. Feed mainly on benthic algae and small crustaceans (Ref. 1602, 37816 ). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Diurnal species (Ref. 54980; 113699).
