Espinas dorsales (total) : 12; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 8; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 10. Body with 7 or 8 pairs of alternating prominent red, blue, white and blackish bands. Pectoral fins with ii unbranched and 14 branched rays. Predorsal scales approximately 10 to 14, reaching forward in advance of posterior extent of orbit on dorsal midline of head. (Ref 9823)

Adults inhabit seaward reefs (Ref. 9710). Feed on mollusks, crustaceans, various worms, and echinoderms. Solitary and territorial species (Ref. 9710). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Monogamous and always in home-ranging pairs, that is they do not defend an exclusive territory (Ref. 52884). Maximum depth reported from Ref. 27115.
