Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 14; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 14-16; Taggstrålar i analfenan 2; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 14 - 15. Generally brown to charcoal or blackish. Dusky gray lips; narrow golden margin on pupil. Blackish scale margins; scales with bluish centers on suborbital series and opercular bones; small sheath scales with bluish centers on basal portion of anal fin. Pectoral fins translucent with brown rays, base of uppermost ray bright blue. Scales on ventral surface of head cycloid, the rest ctenoid.
Adults inhabit rocky reefs with little coral and found near crevices and holes (Ref. 9710). They occur singly (Ref. 510). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).
