Spine dorsali (totale): 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 9; Spine anali 1; Raggi anali molli: 8. Characterized further by pale yellowish brown color with large, irregular dark brown blotches on body; small, pale blue spots (one per scale) in longitudinal rows on body; dorsal and caudal fins with small blue spots, outer edge of dorsal fins broadly yellow; upper three pectoral rays partly free of membrane; rounded caudal fin; longitudinal scale series 29-36; predorsal scales 10-19, reaching from above middle of preopercle nearly to interorbital space; cheek and opercle without scales; ctenoid body scales, becoming cycloid on abdomen, breast and nape; depressed head, width greater than depth; depth of body 4.4-5.0 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Inhabits shallow rocky areas, often in pools of the intertidal zone (Ref. 2798). Occurs mostly in coastal areas. Also found in estuaries, tidal zones and often ascending into freshwater streams; smaller species live between branches of corals where they exploit several crustacean groups. Feeds on crustaceans, fish and algae (Ref. 92840). Sometimes seen as fresh catches at markets (Ref. 12693).
