Aspect: Elongated filefish outline with heavy belly rather than decisively marked "keel" of other Filefish. Retains overhead spine (usually folded backwards) and fast back-positioned translucent dorsal fin and mirroring anal fin. Generally pale green base-colour, but can darken. Population: Common. Notable feature: Inimitable fluo blue scribbling all over body. Paintbrush-like tail fin. Environment: Near bottom, around coral mounds. Feeds on algae, sponges and coral. Behaviour: Easily approched, but less curious than other Filefish.
