Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Vertèbres: 120 - 123. Dark purplish brown with small yellow spots which is sparse on the tail (Ref. 3257). This species is similar to Gymnothorax meleagris in having biserial maxillary teeth, with inner and outer series about equal in length; intermaxillary teeth arranged in a peripheral series, a median series, and an intermediate series on each side between the median and peripheral series. (Ref. 74922).

Benthic in crevices (Ref. 58302). Feeds on crustaceans and small fishes (Ref. 89972). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 86942.
