Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9710)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 12 - 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 24 - 28; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 20 - 23. Body is white with orange to orange-brown oblique bands on the sides. Two broad yellow-edged black bars are on the head; one running across the eye and another on the snout (Ref. 4855). Snout length 2.6-3.2 in HL. Body depth 1.3-1.6 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Adults occur in clear waters and coral-rich areas of lagoon and seaward reefs commonly in seaward reefs (Ref. 1602). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Juveniles are solitary, living among branching corals, while adults are almost always in pairs and are home-ranging. They feed exclusively on coral tissue (Ref. 1602). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Form pairs during breeding (Ref. 205). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
