A species of Meiacanthus (subgenus Meiacanthus) with major portion of dentary gland dorsally positioned and held in place laterally by dorsolateral flange of dentary; dorsal fin IV, 24; color pattern characterized by two mid-lateral dark stripes, and dorsal fin with a dark submarginal stripe and about 10 dark proximal blotches (Ref. 87904).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Adults are found at depths of 3-15 m (Ref. 87904), but at Cenderawasih Bay they may be found at about 65 m deep (Ref. 90102). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
Oviparous, distinct pairing (Ref. 205).
