Max length : 15.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 4859)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 14; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 14 - 16; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 15 - 17.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Inhabits rocky areas of seaward reefs as well as rich coral areas (Ref. 9710). Feeds on algae; forms harems of 3-7 individuals. Frequently exported through the aquarium trade. Forms hybrids with Centropyge vrolikii in areas where these 2 species are sympatric, and hybrids with the C. flavissima have been recorded in the Christmas I. and Cocos-Keeling islands in the eastern Indian Ocean. Mimicked by the juveniles of the acanthurid Acanthurus tristis (Ref. 48391).
