Spine dorsali (totale) : 3; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 27 - 29; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 16; Vertebre: 26. This species is distinct in possessing the following characters: pectoral fins at least partly black; some upper opercular scales are ctenoid; 13-17 horizontal scale rows above the anal-fin origin; 16 circumpeduncular scales (Ref. 74994, 81967).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Collected around corals and Millepora and usually enters the cavities of 'blue tubular sponges' (Ref. 81967). Solitary (Ref 90102).
