					колючие лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 9; членистые (мягкие) лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 10; колючие лучи анального плавника: 3; членистые (мягкие) лучи анального плавника: 9. Males distinct and head looks bright yellow underwater; females drab with white teeth and some pale spots (Ref. 48636).  Scales large.  4 median predorsal scales; a transverse pair of smaller scales which overlap medially in mid-dorsal line located directly anterior to 1st median scale; 3 scale rows on cheek, lower row with 1-2 (usually 2) scales.  Caudal fin slightly rounded to truncate in initial phase; moderately to deeply emarginate in terminal phase.  Adults in initial phase without canines on upper plate, 1 on lower; terminal-phase fish with 1-2 canines on upper and lower plates.  Lips largely or entirely cover dental plates.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.				
				 
			
			
			
			
			
			
			
				Inhabits coral-rich areas of outer lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 9710).  Usually solitary (Ref. 9710).  Females usually in small groups with a male nearby; they may mix with females of similar species (Ref. 48636).  An uncommon fish patchily distributed through much of its range.
