Lower jaw project-ing; palatine teeth present; vomerine teeth stout; scales on body, abdomen and cheek ctenoid; margin of opercle with a distinct sharp spine mostly single pore on lower margin of anterior preopercle. With four to five large V-shaped dark-brown transverse bands over the upper side of the body; numerous black dots scattered on and between the V-shaped transverse bands, around pectoral fin, and at pectoral fin base; dorsal fin between the spinous and soft-rayed portion without a prominent notch, membrane between 1–4 spines with prominent black blotch; a dark vertical band below eye; a large deep-brown or black blotch on the pectoral fin base, and a large black spot over the caudal fin base; one irregular diffused longitudinal yellow stripe along the middle body when fresh (Ref. 86871).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00311 - 0.01538), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
