Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 25.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 5213)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 2; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 33 - 36; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 31 - 32. Sometimes resembles the mottled color phase of C. pardalis, but most often has a pattern of about four broad dusky bands converging posteriorly and has a longer tail.
A generally uncommon species found in seaward reefs (Ref. 9710, 48637) and in harbours. Usually in rich coral with various other mixed-invertebrate habitat (Ref. 48637). Found close to shelter (Ref. 9710). Feeds on benthic organisms (Ref. 3467). Solitary (Ref. 90102).
