Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 69 - 80; Spine anali: 0 - 2; Raggi anali molli: 70 - 84; Vertebre: 45 - 49. This species is characterized by the following: HL 6.3-8.4 in SL; preopercle with 5 blunt spines, the longest at angle. Colouration: head and body orange-pink with double series of yellow spots (smaller than pupil) on the sides; dorsal fin yellow-orange, anal fin yellow and median fins with narrow black margins; paired fins yellow with pink rays (Ref. 127963).
Cross section: oval.
Occurs in muddy habitats, usually in large colonies, each individual with its own burrow. Rises high above the substrate in schools to feed when plankton drifts over, typically in vertical posture (Ref. 48635).
