Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8-9; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8; Vertebrae: 24. Body is olive above and white below, with a silvery-white stripe on the back beneath the dorsal fin. A row of golden yellow spots are on the sides, mid laterally from behind the tip of the pectoral fin to the caudal peduncle. The upper and lower edges of the caudal fins are reddish (Ref. 3810).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits sandy bottoms close to coral reefs. Also near mangroves (Ref. 48635). Frequently in silty areas with low visibility (Ref. 90102). Occurs often in small groups. Feeds on benthic invertebrates and small fishes.
