Lunghezza alla prima maturità / Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm 15.8  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 35.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3797); common length : 30.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3797)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 14; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 17 - 19; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 18 - 20. Front of body yellow; remaining parts of body, dorsal fin, and front of anal fin black. Caudal fin entirely yellow (Ref. 26938). Front margin of anal fin and edge of gill cover orange; bright blue on upper and lower part of iris. The young of about an inch in length are entirely yellow except for a blue-edged black spot on the upper side of the body posterior to the midpoint; with growth the black spot soon expands to become the large black area covering most of the body and dorsal and anal fins (Ref. 13442).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Inhabits rock jetties, rocky reefs and rich coral areas. Juveniles often associated with fire corals (Ref. 9710). Feeds on tunicates, sponges, zoantharians and algae. Marketed fresh (Ref. 3797).
