Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 11; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 16 - 18; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 10 - 12. Distinguished by the following characteristics: adults with pale grey to brown with purplish tint underwater; body, median fins and rear part of the head covered with small dark reddish brown spots; faint irregular dark spots on dusky pectoral and pelvic fins; dusky blotches on the dorsolateral part of the body; angular preopercle, with serrate lobe at the angle; posterior nostrils not greatly enlarged in adults; rear margin of caudal fin scalloped, with exserted rays (Ref. 89707).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Found on rocky reefs. Common on fields of large boulders with gorgonians and black corals. Feeds on fishes and crustaceans (Ref. 89707).
