Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 11. Body with a series of 6 vertically-elongate dusky blotches along lower side of body, with a horizontal series of dark brown dots or short dark brown lines on each dusky blotch forming a row from beneath upper part of pectoral fin to mid-base of caudal fin; a series of less distinct dusky blotches dorsally on body, not in alignment with lower blotches, and numerous small dark brown dots which tend to form groups on the dusky blotches. [Specimens from the SW Pacific and dark habitats, such as on volcanic sand, may have continuous dark lines on the body]. A large dark brown blotch containing a small bright yellow spot above base of pectoral fin. A narrow, vertical, dark brown to black bar on cheek below centre of eye (sometimes with 1 or 2 short oblique side branches); a narrow black bar usually present in line with or just anterior to rear edge of pupil. An oblique dark mark on opercle. A dusky stripe on pectoral-fin base at level of 6th to 7th rays and extending onto proximal part of fin. Dorsal and caudal fins with numerous small brown spots. Large adults with a long brown streak on each inter-radial membrane of second dorsal fin and with numerous dark dots on pectoral fins. Cheek anterior to dark bar below the eye usually with a few small scales. Prepelvic scales extending to vertical at rear margin of preopercle. Mouth slightly inferior, gape slightly oblique. Scales in longitudinal series 30. Transverse scale series 9.5. Pseudobranch filaments 6 (Ref. 41653).

Inhabits shallow coastal bays and estuaries on silty sandy substrates with sparse algae-reef or seagrasses (Ref. 48637). Benthic (Ref. 58302).
