Espinhos dorsais (total) : 13 - 14; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 21 - 26; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais moles: 21 - 23.
Hybrids with C. ephippium known. Usually solitary (Ref. 48636), but may form loose shoals of 5-6 individuals and usually found around isolated coral heads. Territorial and aggressive to other chaetodonts; omnivorous (Ref. 5503). Oviparous (Ref. 205), monogamous (Ref. 52884). Form pairs during breeding (Ref. 205).
Life cycle and mating behavior
