This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: predorsal scales 5-6 ; second spine of first dorsal fin elongate and filamentous; middle 9-15 (of 19) rays of pectoral fin branched; fifth pelvic-fin ray branched, 72-90% of fourth ray in length; height of connecting membrane between innermost pelvic-fin rays 28% of length of fifth ray; interorbital and postorbital trenches deep; longitudinal scales 22-23; opercular scales absent; ground color of head and body pale lilac, 3 vivid yellow longitudinal stripes on body and vertical fins, when fresh a large rounded dark brown blotch posterodorsally to base of pectoral fin (Ref. 75857).
Inhabits rubble bottoms (Ref. 90102).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 22.7 - 28.3, mean 27.2 °C (based on 89 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
