Body is golden yellow; base of the posterior portions of the dorsal and anal fins black; a prominent vertical black bar running across the eye; diagonal rows of black dots on the sides. A filament originating from the soft portions of the dorsal fin rays trails posteriorly (Ref. 4855). Snout length 2.4-2.9 in HL. Body depth 1.6-1.9 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Uncommon species (Ref. 9710) found in coral rich areas of clear water lagoon and semi-protected seaward reefs. Usually in pairs or small groups, more wary than most species. Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 30874. Oviparous (Ref. 205). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
