Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 1 - 40 m (Ref. 33411). Tropical
Eastern Central Pacific: known only from the Marquesas Islands.
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.9 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 33411)
Found on rubble bottom or substrates with a mixture of sand and rock. Feeds on small benthis invertebrates (Ref. 89972). During courtship, the male roam over a wide area; erect its dorsal fin, compress and expand the caudal fin, and changes its color (Ref. 33411).
