Dark red-brown above; side pale yellow or cream, with small, dark red-brown spots; belly creamy yellow. 3 spines on vertical edge of preopercle (Ref. 26938).
A solitary species (Ref. 26340) inhabiting sandy bottom strewn with rocks (Ref. 5521). Rarely observed on reefs (Ref. 13442). Like other soapfishes, it has special skin glands that produce an irritating, mildly toxic slime (Ref. 26938).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24 - 28.1, mean 27.3 °C (based on 703 cells).
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00451 - 0.02922), b=3.06 (2.84 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 79 [43, 154] mg/100g; Iron = 0.682 [0.353, 1.179] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [16.7, 20.2] %; Omega3 = 0.185 [0.114, 0.294] g/100g; Selenium = 26.4 [14.5, 49.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 146 [48, 490] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.37 [0.92, 2.00] mg/100g (wet weight);
