Espinas dorsales (total) : 15 - 17; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9 - 11; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 17 - 20.
Adults inhabit shallow reefs (Ref. 37816). Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114).
