Coluration: body brown to reddish brown or purple, often with 3-4 distinct dark, longitudinal bands or large spots forming horizontal rows; with a silver or white bar extending horizontally from posterior margin of eye at level of lower pupil margin; dark brown bars below the base of dorsal fins broader than light spaces between bars; interspinal membranes of second dorsal fin with without pigment forming a series of clear windows, rarely without clear windows or with windows extending over two spines; anal fin with similar clear windows between rays (Ref. 132458).
