from Southeast Asia waters

Review to morphological features
AcanthuridaeBody shape : Pre flexion-body is moderate deep, strongly compressed laterally, they have 21-23 myomeres and the gut coiled.
Flexion-deeper more than of body, snout have a triangular
head and the mouth is small. The eyes a round and moderate to large size.
Spination :
Pre flexion-the smaller spines is early appearance in larvae 1.8 mm have a bones such as supraoccipital crest serrate, preopercle, lower jaw, mid-ventral keel and pelvic girdle.
Flexion-following presented of spines at the supracleithral, posttemporal, opercular serrate
Pigmentation
Preflexion-The larvae pigment present on brain, gut, along throat, lower jaw, and dorsal surface of gas bladder. Flexion-In some species. The pigment occurrence on caudal peduncle and increase to heavy and density in late stage.
Similar families and genus
Difference of characters
- Zanclids not have large anal fin spine, the elongate of third dorsal fin spine and in preflxion stage have a longer than of preanal length.
- Menids lack elongate fin spine and serrate crests or ridges of head.
- siganids and leiogngsthids have larger than preopercular spines and sometime of myomeres number more than to 24
