Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 4; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 26 - 27; Anale stekels: 2; Anale zachte stralen: 15 - 18. White on upper body, golden yellow below with black midlateral stripe between. Caudal fin outer lobes filamentous in adult males; body depth about 4.6-5.0 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Adults are usually found solitary in sheltered coastal reefs usually with the mimic Cheilodipterus zonatus (Ref. 90102). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
