Aspect: Blue-silvery body with yellow-gold touches (why is it called White Grunt remains a mystery): the latter in the form of yellow borders on the larger scales above the lateral line to create a pattern of diamonds, and longitudinal lines all over the head back to the gills and to an invisible border line above the head from one gill to the other. Population: Common. Notable feature: Lines only on the head. Environment: Usually found close to coral-covered bottom. Behaviour: Must be approached slowly.
