It has always been observed near the reef substratum, where it would seek shelter when approached (Ref. 94129). Pyle, R.L. and J.L.

Colour when alive pearly gray or with light brownish cast, slightly whiter ventrally on body with faint light bluish cast to head (when viewed underwater, overall color appears light blue-gray); irregular honey-brown spots sub-dorsally on body in several irregular rows starting anteriorly at the origin of the first dorsal spine and becoming an irregular row before origin of the second dorsal and ending posteriorly with a few scattered spots on the caudal peduncle; caudal fin with reddish upper and lower margins, a broad reddish crescent posteriorly in fin but not extending to upper and lower margins, a light bluish area forming a diffuse crescent in the center of the fin (Ref. 94129).
