A small species. Juveniles are distinguished from other single band species by the ocellus in the dorsal fin and adults by the angled bar on the snout and cheek (Ref. 48636).
Occurs near substratum, over open bottoms of silty sand and coral rubble (Ref. 12420). Juveniles in small groups. Adults only seen solitary.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 28.1 - 29.3, mean 28.8 °C (based on 798 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00456 - 0.02002), b=3.06 (2.89 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
