Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 11. Characterized by whitish body color with four longitudinal rows of dark brown spots (midlateral row spots largest and horizontally elongate); large anterior dark spots of midlateral row often encircled by blue dots; cheeks with row of three dark spots; behind lower edge of eye with oblique blue and yellow mark followed by similar marks on opercle and preopercle; curved blue and yellow line/dashes from behind upper eye to below of dorsal fin origin; lower part of pectoral fin with elliptical white spot; longitudinal scale series 52-56; opening of gill extending slightly anterior to vertical at posterior edge of preopercle; greatest depth of body 4.3-5.0 in SL; rounded caudal fin, shorter than length of head (Ref. 90102).
Collected by rotenone and spear from silty, sand and rubble bottoms (Ref. 75863). Also found in lagoons (Ref 90102).
