Description:
Dorsal spines: 3; Dorsal rays: 24-26; Anal spines: 0; Anal rays: 22-24.
Very distinctive contrasting pattern of colouration but actual colours can vary. Body is heavily scaled. The Scales have dark centres but size of dark centre varies over
pale background that varies from white to yellow or orange. Hence body can appear dark with fine interstitial network of the paler colour or can appear white, yellow or
orange with black patch on scales – typically darker dorsally. There is a black region with small yellow spots covering the eyes and extending to the pectoral fin bases.
The dorsal, pectoral and anal fins have black margins. There is a naked area around the mouth with a black moustache bordered in white. Large white area below the mouth
covering chin and throat. Deep grove before the eye. About five rows of spines on the caudal peduncle.
