| − | + | |identification=:Oval-shaped fish, with a steep forehead. The body is bluish grey in colour with numerous yellowish brown spots which tend to form irregular longitudinal lines. The head has narrow irregular stripes and behind eye is a yellow spot. The pectoral fins are brown and there is a white bar at the base of the caudal fin. The white bar around the tail varies in intensity and can be entirely absent. Can be mistaken for ''[[Acanthurus dussumieri]], [[Acanthurus mata]]'' or ''[[Acanthurus xanthopterus]]'' with subtle differences. | |
