Các tia vây lưng cứng (tổng cộng) : 7; Các vây lưng mềm (tổng cộng) : 10; Tia cứng vây hậu môn: 1; Tia mềm vây hậu môn: 9; Động vật có xương sống: 26. This species is distinguished by the following characters: colouration pattern: semitranslucent greyish with a bifurcate white stripe straddling the spinal column, back with a narrow brown stripe extending from the side of the nape to the caudal peduncle, and a wider brown stripe on the ventral part of the body extending from the pectoral-fin axil to the caudal peduncle; some smaller individuals (less than about 2.0 cm SL) have a strong yellow tint on the head and body, and lack the dorsal-most brown stripe on the side; differs from most of its congeners in having a relatively low number of pectoral-fin rays 15-17, usually 16; D VI+I,10; A I,9 (rarely I,8); branched caudal-fin rays usually 15 (sometimes 14, especially specimens < 16 mm SL), anterior dentary has a single enlarged canine posterior to the main band of smaller teeth, and the aperture of the genital papilla reaching or nearly reaching anal-fin origin when adpressed (Ref. 125637).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Occurs in lagoon coral reefs, sheltering among dense branches of Acropora corals, especially A. longicyanthus (Ref. 125638).
