Size / Peso / Age
Maturità: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 35.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 48635); common length : 25.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9137)
Has 13 pectoral rays and maybe confused with P. russellii. Median fish are almost clear, but become spotted in large adults. It is best identified by the pale-centered scales on the principal dark bands on the body forming a net-like pattern and V-like markings across the pectoral fin rays (Ref. 48635).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
On rocky substrates in subtropical waters. Usually found on open substrates with remote outcrops of reef or soft-bottom substrates at moderate depths (Ref. 48635). Feeds on fish and crustaceans. Spines are venomous.
