Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 51.5 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 5525)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 10. Body with about 5 to 7 complete broad dusky bands. A distinct dark spot centered on lateral line along dusky band below fifth or sixth dorsal-fin spine. Adults with second prominent anterior canine approximately 1/2 the size of the first, directed mostly dorsally. (Ref 9823)
Adults inhabit lagoon and seaward reefs, usually on rubble and sand bottoms (Ref. 9710) at depths greater than 20 m. Solitary. Feed mainly on hard-shelled prey including crustaceans, mollusks and sea urchins. Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Relatively common and easily approached (Ref. 9710).
