This species is distinguished by the following characters: D Vi+I,0; A I,8; both head and body naked; distinct groove between isthmus and interopercle; deep body (the depth at pelvic-fin origin 40.4-44.3 % SL) and strongly compressed; juveniles with rounded head, large adults with steep profile, slightly hump-headed; caudal peduncle relatively slender (depth 14.8-16.0% SL); colour of juveniles and adults dark reddish brown with greenish subcutaneous gleam on dorsal part of body; median fins plain (western Pacific Oceans) or with pale margin (Red Sea and Indian Ocean); iris plain light blue (Red Sea) or scattered with red-brown dots on the outer margin (Ref. 94082). Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Occurs on reef flats, crests and upper reef slopes in less exposed areas; and prefers Acropora selago, but also occurs in a number of other, narrowly branched Acropora species such as A. acuminata and A. hyacinthus (Ref. 94082).
