Các tia vây lưng cứng (tổng cộng): 11; Các vây lưng mềm (tổng cộng): 16; Tia cứng vây hậu môn 3; Tia mềm vây hậu môn: 15 - 16; Động vật có xương sống: 28. Anterior nostril a short tube with simple cirrus on posterior rim; posterior end of maxilla of adult males produced as a thin flexible lamina that usually extends beyond posterior margin of opercle; spinous dorsal fin with black spot encircled by a very narrow white ring; dorsal fin with 5 or 6 dusky bands that extend onto dorsum; adult males with inner lining of maxilla and adjacent membranes with 2 dark stripes, one stripe in females; pectoral fin uniformly pigmented, no black speckles proximally; buccal pigmentation consisting of a dark area widely surrounding esophageal opening except for a pale area posteriorly that continues between upper pharyngeal tooth patches; caudal vertebrae 8 (Ref. 26893).
Founf on bottoms with gravel and sand or on silt and sand bottoms, near coral reefs and rocky areas (Ref. 129348). Mouthbrooders (Ref. 240).
