简单描述 型态特徵 | 形态测量图

背棘 (总数): 11; 背的软条 (总数): 15-17; 臀棘 3; 臀鳍软条: 8. This species is distinguished by the following characters: greatest body depth 2.8-3.3 in SL; head length 2.3-2.6 in SL; preopercle rounded or subangular, the serrae at angle enlarged; upper edge of operculum almost straight; midlateral part of lower jaw with 2-4 rows of teeth, the inner teeth about twice length of outer ones; gill rakers of first gill arch 6-9 + 14-17; dorsal fin spines third to last subequal, the longest 2.4-3.2 in HL; anal fin spines second and third subequal, 2.1-3.0 in HL and longer than depth of peduncle; caudal fin rounded, peduncle depth 3.2-4.1 in HL; pectoral-fin rays 16-18; lateral-line scales 48-54, in series 98-114. Head, body, and fins pale, are covered with close-set (sometimes coalesced), dark brown or reddish brown spots, the interspaces forming an irregular pale reticulum; pectoral fins are covered with distinct small black spots, largely confined to the rays (the best diagnostic colour character of this species) (Ref. 39231, 89707, 90102).
一系列的大约五条比较深色的斜条纹 , 每个二到五个六角形宽的, 在侧边上重叠了而且从眼放射; 在侧边上的六角形可能合并成短的列。 (参考文献 37816)

生物学特性     字汇 (例如 epibenthic)

A solitary fish, in coastal and offshore reefs usually in less than 20 m depth (Ref. 90102); also very common in shallow lagoon and semi-protected seaward reefs. Juveniles are common in thickets of staghorn Acropora corals. Feed on crustaceans and fishes. Increase of piscivory with age is observed in this species. Neither opercular spine nor anterolateral glandular grooves with venom gland is present (Ref. 57406). Current information in the table (dangerous fish) do not match; needs verification. Cultured under experimental conditions in the Philippines (Ref. 4757). In the Hong Kong live fish markets (Ref. 27253). It is important to artisanal fisheries because of its abundance in shallow water and caught with handlines, fish traps, and spear (Ref. 39231).

非常常见于舄湖浅滩与半遮蔽的临海礁石。 稚鱼常见于鹿角 Acropora 珊瑚的丛。 吃甲壳动物和鱼类。 食鱼的食性随着年龄而增加在这种方面被观察。 在菲律宾在实验的情况养殖。 (参考文献 4757) 在香港活鱼贩卖。 (参考文献 27253) 没有一根鳃盖棘也不前外侧的腺凹槽用毒液腺存在.(参考文献 57406) 在表格 (危险的鱼) 的目前的讯息不相配; 需要确认。
