The male takes care of eggs deposited on a coral branch (Ref.
32163
). Has the ability to change sex in both directions to favor reproductive success (Ref.
32163
). Monogamous mating is observed as both obligate and social (Ref.
52884
).
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201
): 24.8 - 29, mean 28 °C (based on 1316 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

): PD
50
= 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.

): 3.5 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
