Short description

Two forms: the true species has a yellow body, blue head and yellow iris; the dusky form (rarely all yellow), with pale blue-white iris, yellow back and tail. Both forms share a black anal spot and have similar meristics (Ref. 48636).

In Papua New Guinea, various individuals were seen swimming around large coral heads on reef slopes and would not rest on the corals like those seen in Indonesia. Oviparous (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205). Its seems that the Indonesian and Philippines form represents a new species (Ref. 48636).
