Author: Baissac, 1953
FBname: White-edged lyretail
Remark: Type locality: Mauritius.
Comments: A generally uncommon species that inhabits seaward reefs (Ref. 9710).  Juveniles inshore on algae and soft coral reefs, usually swimming well above the substrate, looking much like a basslet (Ref. 48635).  Solitary (Ref 90102) or found in small groups (Ref. 11888).  Feeds on fishes. Of little interest to fisheries, because of its small size and rarity, but flesh is excellent.
  Caught with handline, traps, and spear (Ref. 39231).
