					Duri punggung (Keseluruhan (total)) : 13; duri punggung lunak (Keseluruhan (total)) : 10; Duri dubur: 7; Sirip dubur lunak: 9; vertebrata, bertulang belakang: 13. Indian Ocean subspecies.  S. s. laqueus greyish green with head and body covered with chocolate brown spots; in S. s. stellatus, background color is yellowish.  Trailing edges of soft parts of dorsal and anal fins, perimeter of caudal fin and a saddle over the caudal peduncle are markedly paler than the rest.  Silvery iris, tinted brown or green, with 10 equally spaced spots.  Spines stout; pungent only in juveniles.  Preopercular angle 92°-103°.  Strong scales cover the cheeks.  Usually midline of thorax fully scaled, but pelvic ridges sometimes without scales.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.				
				 
			
			
			
			
			
			
			
				Common in coral reefs; juveniles enter weedy estuaries (Ref. 4407).  Juveniles and subadults form schools, adults in pairs.  Adults feed on benthic seaweeds (Ref. 9813).  Anterolateral glandular grooves with venom gland (Ref. 57406).
