Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 31.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 9710)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 9; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 10; Afterflossenstacheln: 3; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 9. Males resemble S. bowersi but differs in that the tan area of S. bowersi does not extend as far back as the anal fin (Ref. 1602). Initial phase has a distinctive black spot at front of the anal fin and yellowish tail and soft dorsal fin.
A rare species found in coastal and outer reefs with dense coral cover (Ref. 9710); often silty habitats (Ref. 48636).
