Description
Dorsal spines (total): 12; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9-10; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 10-12; Pectoral-fin rays: 14-17; Lateral-line scales: 29-30; Scales below lateral line: 11-14½ (usually: 12½); Scales above lateral line: 4-4½; Predorsal scales: usually about 36; Total gill rakers: 18-19.
Head blunt; forehead convexly rounded; outline of snout nearly vertical in lateral aspect; outline of nape slightly convex; jaws obtuse. Upper jaw with prominent anterior canines of similar size, first slightly smaller in larger individuals; first canine directed mostly ventrally in small specimens, angled more anteroventrally and curved ventrally in larger individuals; second canine directed ventrally and slightly laterally; dental ridge massive anteriorly in large specimens, ridge with several small canines in smaller specimens, canines becoming prominent in larger individuals; 1 or 2 (often 2) enlarged canines posteriorly, directed antero-ventrolaterally. Lower jaw with first prominent anterior canine 1/3-½ length of second, first much narrower than second; first canine directed anterodorsally and slightly mesially, second directed anterodorsally and recurved dorsolaterally, especially in large individuals; dental ridge prominent on anterior half of jaw but mostly devoid of teeth; teeth on posterior half of jaw mostly in single series, slightly longer posteriorly; series occasionally followed by 1 or 2 distinctly shorter canines.
Caudal fin distinctly emarginate, dorsal and ventral rays forming extremely elongate filaments in juveniles, reaching length of more than 2.5 times those of middle rays (only 1.6 times in the largest specimen examined). Posterior tip of pelvic fin reaching just short of or to anus, reaching little past anus at most.
Predorsal scales reaching forward in advance of anterior nostril; cheek scales extending forward in advance of anterior nostril, preopercle fully scaled, scales covering posterior half of jaw; scaly basal sheath on base of dorsal and anal fins of moderate height, 2-2½ scales in depth.
Max length: 21.0 cm TL, usually: 16.0 cm SL. Depth range: 6 - 60 m, usually: 25 - 60 m.
Color
- Juveniles: head and anterior portion of body yellowish brown to brown, body white posteriorly without pink shading or red marks; Large white spot covering anterior tip of head; Pelvic fin black.
- Adults: body reddish brown to brown anteriorly, white posteriorly (suffused with pink in large specimens) with Two broad black stripes suffused with red on caudal peduncle, one dorsally and one ventrally, stripes reaching to tips of forked caudal fin; Variable number of small red to large black spots or irregular marks on white area, including black ring around anus; Bicolored halves of body separated by anteroventrally tapering diagonal black band, band originating dorsally at tips of anterior segmented dorsal-fin rays and terminating posterior to pectoral-fin base. Head suffused with black ventrally, indistinct black line directed posteroventrally from corner of mouth. Dorsal fin yellow to yellowish brown anterior to black body band, with large black spot at anterior end of fin; Fin white or pinkish white to transparent posterior to black bar. Anal fin white to pinkish white posteriorly, becoming transparent at tip; Broad red to black marginal stripe on anterior 2⁄3 of fin. Pectoral fin transparent. Pelvic fin red with black streaks.
Etymology
Bodianus: after Bodiano or Pudiano, from the Portuguese pudor, meaning modesty (Jordan & Evermann, 1896).
anthioides: from Greek masculine noun, anthias = a common name for members of the Anthiinae serranid fishes + from Latin suffix, -oides = form, likeness, appearance, resemblance. Refers to the similarity of this species to various Anthiinae species.
Original description: Crenilabrus anthioides Bennett, 1832 - Type locality: Mauritius, Mascarenes, southwestern Indian Ocean.
Distribution
Red Sea, Indo-West Pacific: East and South Africa, Mozambique Channel, Seychelles, Madagascar and Mascarenes east to Wake Atoll, Marshall Islands and Henderson Island (Pitcairn Group), north to southern Japan, south to Australia, New Caledonia and Austral Islands.
Biology
Adults inhabit seaward reefs. They occur on reefs rich with invertebrates such as gorgonians, seawhips and black corals. Common along steep outer reef slopes. Usually seen as lone individuals. Juveniles pose as cleaners fishes. May be solitary or may exist in pairs. Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding.
