Colouration: 6-10 large, black blotches on pectoral-fin membrane; posterior parts of pectoral-fin rays, not associated with fin membrane, with several reddish bands (dark in preserved specimens) (Ref. 95027).Morphological changes with growth include: number of head spines increases with growth; juvenile and young specimens of less than 9.13 cm SL have a simple nasal spine with a spinous point, while large adults of more than 10.10 cm SL usually have 2 (rarely 3) points, Matsunuma, M. and H.
