Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 65.9 cm TL mannelijk/geslacht niet bekend; (Ref. 40637); common length : 50.0 cm SL mannelijk/geslacht niet bekend; (Ref. 4742); Maximaal gepubliceerd gewicht: 4.4 kg (Ref. 40637); Maximaal vermelde leeftijd: 29 jaren (Ref. 6843)
Body rather massive. Mouth small with thick lips and large conical teeth. Coloration very variable, brownish and greenish predominating (Ref. 35388).
Adults are found in littoral (10-20 m) zone around rocks, offshore reefs, and seaweed. Young often in intertidal areas. All are born females and change sex when they are 4-14 years old (Ref. 35388). One (or more) female spawns in nest of algae, built by male in a crevice. Feed on crustaceans and mollusks (Ref. 4742). Oviparous (Ref. 205).
Eggs are laid in nest built from algae; male guards nest 1-2 weeks until larvae hatch (Ref. 35388); larvae are pelagic.
