Etymology: Grallenia: Named for Gerald R. Allen, (G+R+Allen+suffix '-ia'), in honor of his great contribution to our knowledge of the diversity of coral-reef fishes; compta: Name from Latin 'compta' meaning ornamented); referring to the orange markings on the head, body, and fins; treated as a feminine singular adjective.
Eponymy: Dr Gerald Ray Allen (d: 1942) The genus was named to honour “…his great contribution to our knowledge of the diversity of coral-reef fishes.” (See Allen, GR) (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Occurs in large (5-10 m2 ), flat, sandy areas surrounded by live coral at about 14-15 m (Ref. 116128).
