Espinas dorsales (total) : 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 8. Characterized by male with yellowish grey color, densely and diffusely mottled with dusky, bluish whit and dull orange spots; female with dark grey brown color dorsally, paler ventrally, with five large yellowish white blotches dorsally from nape to caudal peduncle; broadly yellow outer part of first dorsal fin in both sexes; upper 5-6 pectoral rays free of membrane; rounded caudal fin; longitudinal scale series 34-40; predorsal scales 14-19, reaching to within half eye diameter of rear edge of eye; cheek and opercle without scales; ctenoid body scales, becoming cycloid on anterior body; depressed head, width greater than depth; depth of body 4.1-4.3 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Inhabits rocky pools of intertidal zone and rocky shores (Ref. 90102). Specimens collected from tide pools of exposed coasts (Ref. 11441). Feeds on planktonic crustaceans, polychaetes and algae (Ref. 36558).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.6 - 29.2, mean 28.4 °C (based on 2932 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
