Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8 - 9; Vertebrae: 26. Black spots on head, body, and pectoral fin base. Larger round to elongate iridescent pale blue or green spots scattered on head and upper anterior part of body, those on upper anterior part of body surrounded both above and below with elongate and inwardly curved or roundish dark brown spots. Several brown transverse bands from dorsal to ventral sides of body. Second dorsal fin mottled with red, yellow, and grey with black spots usually present. Anal fin separated into proximal red and distal black areas with a yellow line on red area close to black area. Caudal fin somewhat lanceolate (Ref. 37940).
