Descrição suscinta Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria

Espinhos dorsais (total) : 8 - 9; Raios dorsais (total) : 25 - 28; Espinhos anais: 2 - 3; Raios anais : 22 - 25. Upper jaw does not reach to anterior margin of eye. Juveniles have about 5 vertical dark bars on body.

Adults prefer offshore reefs (Ref. 9710) and open marine waters (Ref. 26938). Juveniles often found near the shore on seagrass beds or often associated jellyfish or floating Sargassum (Ref. 5217). Generally solitary but sometimes seen in small groups (Ref. 26235). They feed on small fishes (Ref. 26235). Spawning occurs offshore from February to October (Ref. 26938). Flavor considered fair to good (Ref. 5521).
