Max length : 25.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 129178); common length : 15.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 6113)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12 - 14; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 11. Color pattern remains similar with growth with terminal males becoming gaudier than primary males (Ref. 37816). Pale green with 6 dark bars, last two as saddles over the tail. Head with pink bands radiating from eye in large adults (Ref. 48636).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Occurs in shallow lagoon and seaward reefs, slopes and along drop-offs to moderate depths. Occurs in small, loose groups (Ref. 48636). Feeds on benthic and planktonic crustaceans, small fishes, and foraminiferans.
