Second dorsal and anal fins mostly clear, trunk melanophores extending onto base of fin. In reared specimens, second dorsal and anal fins each with a blotch of melanophores set within and usually entirely surrounded by pale remainder of fin. In specimens with greatly expanded melanophores, basal fin pigment sometimes merging slightly with the blotch of melanophores on fin. Caudal fin without melanophores in larva but with a few scattered orange chromatophores at bases of central and ventral rays. In reared specimens caudal fin with two large, rounded melanophores at base of fin and one or two smaller melanophores above upper spot and below lower; fin rays clear centrally; two concentrations of melanophores present posteriorly (appearing either as two patches of small spots or as two large pigmented blotches), one on upper caudal lobe and one on lower. Tips of fin rays clear. Background color of head and body mostly orange in larval specimen, some yellow anteriorly; no chromatophores on body in reared specimens. Large, greatly expanded melanophores covering head and body in larva. Trunk nearly chocolate brown in reared specimens, with expanded but distinct melanophores in other two reared specimens. Posterior end of caudal peduncle in larva with at least two melanophores in vertical bar and with a clear area anterior to those spots. Caudal peduncle uniformly dark in chocolate brown reared specimens, with small clear area anterior to bar of melanophores on posterior end of caudal peduncle in other reared specimens. Snout, jaws, cheek, temporal region, and lateral surface of gut with melanophores. A dense cap of melanophores visible over gut and swimbladder in larva.
