Its color varies according to the environment in which it lives, ranging from light gray to dark brown, with darker spots on the head and along the side line. The dorsal fin is long and thorny, with the three spines mentioned above. The caudal fin is rounded and branched off, and the pectoral and pelvic fins are fine and long.

The three-throat-fishing fish is a lonely and territorial fish, which lives in coral reefs and rocky funds. It can reach a length of 20 centimeters, although the average size is generally 12 to 15 centimeters. The three-thoroughbred fishing fish is mainly nocturnal, and it feeds mainly on small crustaceans and invertebrates which it finds in the crevices and cavities of the coral reefs.
