Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 76833)

Distinguished from all other Scorpaenodes species by having the first two spines on the suborbital ridge extending dorsally above the lower orbit margin; no distinct dark spot on opercle, subopercle, or spinous dorsal fin; pectoral fin rays usually 17; vertical scale rows 39-43; head and upper body light cream overlaid by dark brown to black pigment pattern; lower half of body light cream to white, edges of scales on lower half pink (Ref. 46823); Suborbital ridge with four spinules; presence of interorbital and coronal spines, small; depth of body 2.8-3.1 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Found in coral reefs in 0-12 m (Ref 90102).
