Dorsal spines (total): 17; Dorsal soft rays (total): 31 - 32; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8. White with mostly oblique, black bands; three short bands across forehead; prominent band from each eye to pectoral fin base, second from nape to pectoral fin base, third angled downward from dorsal fin origin and fading behind pectoral fin, fourth arising on center of spinous portion of dorsal fin and tapering as it follows dorsal profile of body to upper side of caudal peduncle; pectoral fins yellow; other fins greyish with darker margins (Ref. 33839).
