upper and 14 lower teeth; body depth 1.9 in SL. Colouration: body light to dark brown with irregular, longitudinal, dotted stripes narrower than brown interspaces; suborbital and opercular region with stripes paralleling snout outline; rear base of dorsal and anal fins with a pupil-sized black blotch; dorsal and anal fins with bands paralleling outer edge (Ref. 138601).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Inhabits clear lagoon and seaward reefs; often in areas with mixed coral, pavement, rubble and sand substrates (Ref. 1602). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Occurs singly or in small groups (Ref. 9710). Feeds on filamentous algae, diatoms and fine algal film of compacted sand (Ref. 1602). Relatively uncommon throughout Micronesia; rare on Great Barrier Reef.
