It differs somewhat, from mature specimens in color, having 3 dark saddle-like crossbars, the first under anterior part of spinous dorsal: second under anterior part and third under posterior part of soft dorsal. Mature specimens can usually be readily recognized by the palmate appearance of the preopercular spines; in successively smaller specimens these gradually become more pinnate.
