Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm

Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt): 4 - 5; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt): 26-27; Afterflossenstacheln 2; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 16 - 17. Lunate caudal fin with elongated lobes in adults; live color dark olive with wedge-shaped, orange-yellow stripe along sides of body; cheek and opercle green; caudal-fin base and lobes black with centroposterior area transparent whitish with dusky rays. Dorsal rays IV-V (usually V), 26-27; segmented caudal rays 11-13 (Ref. 54980).
Adults swim above the bottom. They feed on zooplankton. Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
