Usually solitary, but sometimes seen in a small group, where each individual is at moderate distance from the others. From the food items found in the gut of one specimen of Koumansetta hectori (filamentous algae, harpacticoid copepods, amphipods, ostracods, and nematodes) a similar benthic, omnivorous diet may be expected for this species (Ref. 119548).

Body with longitudinal yellow stripes only on upper half of body; mid-dorsal stripe and the pair of dorsolateral stripes diverging before eyes and then converging halfway between eye and first dorsal fin, a yellow stripe between mid-dorsal and dorsolateral stripes extending from side of nape continuing along dorsal-fin bases and almost reaching, with interruptions, to ocellus on back; head brown dorsally and whitish ventrally, yellowish white demarcation stripe, starting anteriorly at angle of jaw and going back to middle of pectoral-fin base; another yellowish white stripe beginning from the posterior part of upper jaw across upper cheek, opercle, and upper pectoral-fin base becoming a demarcation stripe behind pectoral fin, dividing the brown upper part of body from the grey lower part, and disappearing below middle of second dorsal fin; first dorsal fin with dark red or red-brown ocellus, a black center and edged with black; a weak orange-red streak is visible above ocellus (Ref. 119548).
