Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 11; Spine anali 2; Raggi anali molli: 11; Vertebre: 26. This species is distinguished be the following characters: D XIII,11; A II,10-11 (usually 11); pectoral rays 19-20 (usually 19); spiniform caudal rays 3; tubed lateral-line scales (17-19); gill rakers 7-8 + 20-22, total rakers 28-30; body depth 2.3-2.4 in SL. Colouration: when alive, mainly charcoal grey to dark greenish brown, whitish to yellowish anteriorly (behind pectoral fin) and ventrally; a broad black band behind head (or slightly overlapping opercle), from side of nape to just behind pectoral-fin base; cheek, opercle, and side of snout mainly white (except in yellow individuals), except black patch around upper margin of eye; iris yellow-orange; caudal fin mainly brown with darker band along dorsal and ventral edge of lobes; juvenile is bluish with prominent black band behind the head and bright yellow caudal lobes with yellow on upper lobe extending onto dorsal portion of caudal peduncle (Ref. 118302).
Usually found in habitats consisting of outer, seaward reefs at depths of about 10-40 m (Ref. 118302).
