Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 17 - 18; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 18. Overall pale with a broad black bar bordered by a narrow pearly white band running across the upper side from the front of the eye to the posterior portion of the soft dorsal fin. A similar broad black band with pearly white border runs submarginal on the caudal and anal fins.
Common on rocky reefs, in ledges and caves; also in coral areas (Ref. 47838). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Submarine observations to 183 m (Ref. 11013). Feeds mainly on sponges (Ref. 47838); stomach content of some specimens also had algae, traces of hydroids and unidentified eggs. Minimum depth from Ref. 47838.
