Épines dorsales (Total) : 1; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 25 - 27; Épines anales: 1; Rayons mous anaux: 17 - 19. Dorsal fin of males generally dusky when preserved, the large dark spot absent on anterior part of fin. Caudal vertebrae, 23-25 (usually 24). Anterior lateral line scales 32-39, usually 33-37. Posterior interorbital pores 1-2; total parietal pores 14-30, usually more than 30 (Ref. 42958).

Bi-directional sex change has been proposed for this species though histological analysis of more specimens is needed for confirmation (Ref. 103751).
