Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 6; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 39 - 43; Vértebra: 25. This species is distinguished by the following characters: scale rows above lateral line 6 1/2-7 1/2 (usually 7 1/2); pored lateral-line scales 62-71; scales are weakly ctenoid, thin, semicircular in shape, far wider than long, and deciduous; convex snout outline in anterior part of orbit; tip of dorsal fin broadly black, the rest is bright yellow; base of anal fin blackish; distinct blackish band on outer margin; posterior margin of caudal fin blackish, the rest bright yellow; distinct blackish spot
on pectoral-fin base; absence of villiform tooth band extending outside lips on the upper and lower jaws (Ref. 92923).
Apparently occurs in underwater caves or crevasses in coral reef areas during the day, but found in open water at night (Ref.92923).
