soft rays: 11. Lips thick with age (Ref. 1623). Several color phases with age and sex (Ref. 48636). Basic color pattern changes little with growth although the posteriormost white bands disappear on large individuals (Ref. 1602).
Found mostly on coral reefs and reef flats to at least 20 m depth. Juveniles secretive on inshore reefs. Large adults swim openly on reefs, singly or in small loose aggregations (Ref. 48636). Feed mainly on small crustaceans, mollusks and echinoderms (Ref. 9823).
