More on author: Valenciennes . Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology Marine; reef-associated; depth range 10 - 40 m (Ref. 9710 ).

Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm Max length : 50.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2334 ); common length : 38.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 37816 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 9. Coloration changes slowly with growth. The light green patch on the caudal peduncle is present on individuals as small as 15 cm and the distinctive tan facial markings are on most individuals above 20 cm. Large males develop a near-vertical forehead profile and long lobes and a well-developed lunate caudal fin.
