Max length : 96.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 4787); peso máx. publicado: 17.3 kg (Ref. 92920)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 7 - 8; Raios dorsais (total) : 10 - 12; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 8.
Usually found in shallow water (less than 10 m), however, Kyushin et al. (1977, Ref. 6894) reported specimens caught on a vertical longline at depths of 45 to 62 m. Solitary or in small groups. Often drifts well above the bottom (Ref. 9710). Feeds exclusively on fishes (parrotfishes, wrasses, holocentrids, acanthurids, a triggerfish, and a juvenile Sphyraena) (Ref. 6448). Also caught with trawls.
