Spine dorsali (totale) : 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 17 - 18; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8. Adults dark grey with orange-red lips and opercle edge; fins dark, membrane at front of dorsal fin narrowly black. Juveniles colorful (Ref. 2799).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Found over rocks and corals (Ref. 5213), as well as shallow weedy areas. Stomach contents of specimens collected from Iraq composed mainly of benthic organisms including crustaceans (Ref. 97537). Solitary or in small groups close to shelter (Ref. 9710). Marketed fresh. Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 9773.
