Madurez: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 55.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 9770)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 3; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 24 - 27; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 19 - 24. Dark brown, scales with yellow spot; pectoral, soft dorsal, anal and caudal fins dark with yellow margins; juveniles yellowish brown with bluish grey spots and blotches (Ref. 4420). Juveniles under about 5 cm, tan with dark saddles and numerous dark wavy lines on the body. Larger juveniles loose the dark saddles and become covered in a network of brilliant blue lines which become increasingly interconnected with growth (Ref. 37816).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Adults occur in clear shallow lagoons and seaward reefs; sandy areas near reef patches of reef edge are preferred. They are found on deep reefs or with shipwrecks, usually deeper than 30 meters. Juveniles inshore on rubble reef or small outcrops on open substrate (Ref. 48637). They feed on sea urchins, crustaceans, mollusks, dead fish, tunicates or corals (Ref. 5503). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Monogamous (Ref. 52884). Also caught with drive-in nets. Marketed fresh and dried-salted (Ref. 9770).
