Spine dorsali (totale) : 11 - 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 24 - 25; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 18 - 20. Body deep, compressed, and disk-shaped; dorsal profile of head steep and concave; snout pronounced; teeth very small and se in a comb-like band; base of pelvic spine with an axillary process; lateral line complete, extending over caudal peduncle; body yellowish; snout with a dark stain; eye bordered with black; posterior edge of operculum, base of pectoral fins, nape, and dorsal border (at base of dorsal fin) black (Ref. 55763).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Often in large schools (Ref. 5227) over coral and rocky reefs (Ref. 9286). Feed on algae, gastropods, and small crustaceans (Ref. 9286). Pick parasites from larger fishes like Paranthias colonus and Mulloides dentatus (Ref. 28023). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Form pairs during breeding (Ref. 205).
