Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 10 - 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 17 - 18; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8. Pinkish brown to brownish orange, with six faint brown bands extending across body and several diffuse brown diagonal bands behind and in front of eyes on head; faint spotting also present in some individuals; fins pale (Ref. 33839).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Occurs inshore (Ref. 7300), in caves and beneath ledges (Ref. 33839). Probably also at depths greater than 22 m (Ref. 33839). Secretive (Ref. 33839). Feeds on small fishes (Ref. 33839).
