Épines dorsales (Total) : 7; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8; Épines anales: 1; Rayons mous anaux: 8. Characterized by head and body translucent green to yellowish green with brown to golden brown bands/bars; male with distinct black blotch on posteriormost part of second dorsal fin; longitudinal scale series 23-29; nape without scales; bilobed tongue; relatively slender body, depth of body at anus averages 6.7 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Inhabits shallow reef flats with algae and seagrass habitats (Ref. 48637). Common on blades of seagrasses (e.g. Enhalus) (Ref. 1602). Feeds on small crustaceans taken from the blades or water nearby (Ref. 37816). Depth range from 0-22 m (Ref 90102).
