As adults the bright yellow fades to a more subtle shade and the spots decrease in size and turn to a more brownish colour, sometimes turning to white, edged with black. The fins of the adult become are a light blue colour. These fish are often found along coastal reefs, rocky reefs and shelter in amongst crevices and ledges.
