Espinhos dorsais (total) : 11 - 13; Raios dorsais (total) : 16 - 18; Espinhos anais: 2; Raios anais : 18 - 20. With fewer than 70 dentary incisors and a reticulated color pattern.
Adults inhabit rocky coasts (Ref. 9280). They feed on plants, small mollusks and crustaceans (Ref. 9280). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Eggs are deposited in mollusk shells or on rocks (Ref. 9280). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114). Used to prepare a soup called 'borracho' which evokes slight intoxication and tiredness; these effects, however, are of short duration (Ref. 9280).
