Predominant color of adults when alive is yellow; yellow covering dorsal portion of trunk, in stripe from tip of upper jaw to posterior edge of operculum and in narrower broken stripe from ventral edge of orbit to posterior edge of operculum, on dorsal and caudal fins, and in stripe on anal fin; top of head is dark rose/orange, ventral portions of head and trunk pale rose to white; dorsal and ventral portions of trunk with scattered yellow spots. When preserved in alcohol, the head and trunk uniformly pale, slightly paler on abdomen and throat. Larvae has a conspicuous pattern of orange chromatophores in life on head and trunk, orange pigment on elongate second dorsal-fin spine associated with swellings in sheath covering spine, several orange blotches on anal-fin rays, large blotch of orange pigment covering most of pelvic fin, and melanophores on spinous dorsal fin (Ref. 95863).
