Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 13 - 14; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 9 - 11; Εδρικές άκανθες: 3; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 7 - 9; Σπόνδυλοι: 28. This species is distinguished from all congeners by the following characters: bright yellow color pattern of the unpaired fins (vs. mostly red in other species); covered with white dots aligned between rays; distal border of the dorsal fin and dorsal and ventral contours of caudal fin red with thin light stripes; prominent adipose hump in mature males, extending dorsally above the tip of the longest dorsal-fin spines (vs. less developed) (Ref. 118066).
