Four dark blotches usually at the base of the dorsal fin and a fifth forming a dark saddle blotch on the peduncle.

ຊີວະສາດ     ຄຳແປສັບ (ຕ.ຢ. epibenthic)

This shallow-water species is more common on atolls than high islands, and usually found in exposed outer-reef areas. Not dependent on coral cover (Ref. 89707). Juveniles and occasionally adults are collected from tide pools. Feeds on crustaceans (mainly grapsid crabs), octopi, and fishes.
