Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 14 - 15; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 8. Preopercular notch and knob strong. Scale rows on back rising obliquely above lateral line. Generally bright yellow, with 5 black-edged bluish-white stripes on the sides; the belly whitish with narrow gray lines; the fins mainly yellow.
