Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 12; Dorsal soft rays (total): 17 - 18; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 19 - 20. Anterior nostril with a long cirrus on posterior margin only. A longitudinal dark stripe on body often interrupted in larger specimens. In some populations, the black lateral stripe is sometimes present as a series of blotches (not observed in Indonesia) (Ref. 48636).

Inhabits shallow clear coastal to outer reef crests with rich coral growth to about 15 m depth (Ref. 48636). Occur in coral reefs (Ref. 9710). Often collected at depths less than 1 m in the northernmost parts of its range, but may occur more deeply (to 28 m) further south, and rarely more shallow than 5 m (Ref. 5296). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205).
