Épines dorsales (Total) : 11 - 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 12 - 16; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 14 - 18. Body with dark spots and 5-6 dusky bands.
Adults are found in the tidal zone, on very shallow reefs and in rock pools (Ref. 12484). Feed on red and green seaweeds, hydrozoa, rock mussels and small crustaceans (Ref. 12484). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114). Suitable subject for nature study (Ref. 12484).
