Épines dorsales (Total) : 10; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 14; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 9. Body deep and compressed; anterior profile of head slightly sloping and somewhat convex; snout prominent; anterior nostril tubular; posterior nostril embedded in a deep furrow; preopercle deeply notched; vomerine and lateral jaw teeth molariform; lower branch of first gill arch with 11 to 15 gill rakers; dorsal scale series running parallel to lateral line; back greenish brown; belly pink; flanks with 8 brownish blue vertical bars (Ref. 55763). Post-opercular notch and knob strong; anterior nostril long and tubular. Scale rows on back running parallel to the lateral line. Color is greenish with a series of about eight bars on sides.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Adults are encountered generally over rocky bottoms in the vicinity of coral reefs, up to at least 40 or 50 m (Ref. 9313). Juveniles may penetrate rocky littoral pools (Ref. 9313). Carnivorous, feed on fishes and invertebrates of the bottom (Ref. 9313). Caught with handlines and marketed fresh (Ref. 9313).
