Large (25 cm) butterfly fish, white with 3 black bands. The first cover the head (with white drawings), the second starts before the dorsal filament. The space between the second and third bands has a reticulated pattern more or less dark. Yellow dorsal and caudal fins. Black knob on forehead.
Living in lagoon and bay and along the external reef, usually in pairs. Feeds on corals.
