This species is distinguished by the following: usually 3-7 pored lateral-line scales and 12-14 gill rakers and rudiments; body scale margins uniform; body pale yellowish brown, suffused with red especially on head and ventrally on body, with numerous white spots outlined in red, no bars on head, body or peduncle; axil of pectoral fin without spot; 3 or more whitish basicaudal spots; second dorsal, anal and caudal fins pale reddish with small white spots, the membranes translucent (Ref. 93673).
Collected in Halimeda beds in 15-27 meters and in one collection, it included species of Padina, Caulerpa, and Dictyota (Ref. 93673).
