Based on morphology alone, individual specimens of several combinations of these species are difficult to distinguish. Although none of the combinations of species are entirely mutually cryptic, we consider taxonomy of this genus to be dependent on molecular analysis; morphological distinction of species requires substantial numbers of well-preserved specimens. Most species of\n                    <jats:italic>Siganus<\/jats:italic>\n                    examined harbour two or three species of\n                    <jats:italic>Hexangium<\/jats:italic>\n                    ; sometimes one species is dominant, but in several two species were both common.
