Max length : 35.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 30573); common length : 25.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 6113)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 11; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 14 - 16; Épines anales: 4; Rayons mous anaux: 12 - 14. Pale salmon pink; edges of scales dorsally on body deep blue to black; median fins with broad black outer border. Inner pectoral fin axil naked except for one (rarely two) moderate scales on lower half (Ref. 2334).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Usually inhabits coral-rich areas of drop-offs and steep channel slopes from below the effects of surge to over 25 m. Occurs singly or in small groups, sometimes with other species (Ref. 9710, 48635). A nocturnal species hiding in caves or beneath ledges by day, feeds on plankton such as crab larvae at night. Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
