Spine dorsali (totale) : 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 12; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 8. Interorbital space flat. Bases of dorsal and anal fins without scales, their last soft rays extended into short filaments. Pectoral fins long, reaching level of anus. Scale rows on back parallel to lateral line.

Sharptooth snappers are found in tropical and sub-tropical deep waters. They are found in schools and live in areas of hard, rocky and uneven sea floor (Ref. 27354). They feed on benthic invertebrates and fishes.
Studies in South China Sea (Ref. 28116) and Hawaii (Ref. 28117) suggest that this species is a serial spawner (Ref. 28115).
