Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8; Vertebrae: 24. Translucent when fresh with a reddish cast, overlaid with iridescence particularly on abdomen and operculum predominated by golden hues; dusky caudal fin with hyaline border; 1st and 2nd dorsal and anal fin pale to dusky or blackish, other fins are clear with pink rays. Anterior nostril without long flap. Rhomboid caudal fin. 23-24 scales in longitudinal series. Gill rakers 4-5+11-13, 1-7 developed. Convex interorbital space. Oblique mouth. Predorsal scales 10 (9-11). This species resembles P. amblyuroptera and P. gelatinosa but has larger scales (LR<=24) (Ref. 37816).

Inhabits lagoon and seaward reefs; hides in small caves and under ledges. Solitary and usually seen at night (Ref 90102).
