Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 11 - 12; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 17 - 18; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 19 - 20. Dentary incisors 80-93; segmented dorsal-fin rays 18; pupil-size black spot on first and sometimes second interspinal membrane; and pupil-size white spots (brownish red in life) on head and body.
Found on rocky bottoms. Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
