Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 13 - 15; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8 - 10. Dorsal profile of head high. Interorbital space strongly convex. Eye relatively large with an adipose lid. Preorbital bone narrow, less than eye diameter. Snout relatively short and pointed. Pectoral fins long, reaching level of anus. Predorsal scales on top of head beginning above middle of eye. Scale rows above and below lateral line rising obliquely toward dorsal profile. Adults greenish-grey to reddish with yellowish fins (Ref. 48635).

Inhabits reefs and rocky bottoms (Ref. 30573). A schooling species that appears to open ocean reefs where occurring in shallow depths of a few meters. In most areas they occur deep and are usually trawled to 100 m depth (Ref. 48635). Feeds on benthic and planktonic invertebrates (Ref. 30573), and possibly small fishes. Marketed fresh or dried-salted.
