Eastern Central Pacific: Hawaii.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturité: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 51.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 4887); poids max. publié: 3.5 kg (Ref. 42181)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 12; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 9; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 5. Vertical scale rows 50-55; lachrymal bone with 2 spines over maxillary, first points down and forward, second points down and back, sometimes second split distally into 2 points; suborbital ridge usually with 5 spines, sometimes some spines split in larger specimens (Ref. 10482).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
This solitary species inhabits the outer edge of the reef (Ref. 583). Usually beneath ledges or near entrance to caves (Ref. 42181). Benthic (Ref. 58302). A prized food fish with population greatly reduced in main Hawaiian islands due to fishing pressure, especially by spear fishermen. Stomach contents include small fishes (holocentrid, acanthurid and Aulostomus chinensis) (Ref. 42181).
