Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 6; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 39 - 43; Vértebra: 25. This species is distinguished by the following characters: scale rows above lateral line 6 1/2-7 1/2 (usually 7 1/2); pored lateral-line scales 62-71; scales are weakly ctenoid, thin, semicircular in shape, far wider than long, and deciduous; convex snout outline in anterior part of orbit; tip of dorsal fin broadly black, the rest is bright yellow; base of anal fin blackish; distinct blackish band on outer margin; posterior margin of caudal fin blackish, the rest bright yellow; distinct blackish spot
on pectoral-fin base; absence of villiform tooth band extending outside lips on the upper and lower jaws (Ref. 92923).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Apparently occurs in underwater caves or crevasses in coral reef areas during the day, but found in open water at night (Ref.92923).
