Spine dorsali (totale) : 3; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 21 - 23; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 14. Females sexually dichromatic dottyback are uniformly grey, sometimes becoming yellowish or reddish on the tail (Ref. 37816).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

A common but secretive species (Ref. 9710, 48635) found in holes and crevices of exposed outer reef flats and reef margins.
