Colouration: head and anterior body bright yellow, darkening to orange posteriorly above median lateral black stripe; median lateral black stripe is constricted or attenuated to about origin of anal fin, expanding past this point toward edge of caudal fin; upper and lowermost edge of caudal fin light blue to lilac; pelvic fins are translucent yellow; pectoral fins translucent, its lower base with a large elliptical spot (Ref. 138889).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Inhabits coral-rich areas of seaward and clear lagoon reefs (Ref. 9710). Occur solitarily or in pairs. Creates 'cleaning ' stations to which fishes come to have crustacean ectoparasites and mucus removed (Ref. 2334); client fish Myripristis violacea (Ref. 138889).
