Eight juveniles, 16.022.0 mm SL, are present in our material. The body is pale orange. The head, abdomen, first dorsal fin, bases of second dorsal and anal fins, and posterior portion of the caudal peduncle are darker pink/orange. There are melanophores on the head, gut, outer rays of the caudal fin and on the distal portions of the second dorsal and anal fins. Two dark bars are present on the trunk in all juveniles. The anterior bar is somewhat wedge shaped (slightly broader dorsally than ventrally) and extends ventrally to a point slightly below mid body or slightly above the anal-fin base. This bar is confluent with a stripe of melanophores along the second dorsal-fin base and separated by a gap from a similar stripe along the anal-fin base. The bar on the caudal peduncle extends from the dorsal to the ventral margins of the body.

in adults, the distance between the two bars is greater than the width of the posterior bar. There are 1314 lower-limb gill rakers on the first arch in the juveniles, which is consistent with values for adults (

Juveniles examined range from 18.022.0 mm SL. In all specimens, the body is pale orange, and the dark pattern of pigment on the dorsal and anal fins typical of adults is conspicuous. The caudal-fin rays are densely covered with melanophores. There are scattered melanophores on the head in the smallest juveniles. The posterior margins of the scales on the dorsal portion of the trunk and caudal peduncle are covered with melanophores, forming roughly diamond-shaped patterns of pigment on the body. The dark saddle behind the second dorsal fin characteristic of adults is beginning to develop or fully present in all specimens. There are 16 gill rakers on the lower limb of the first gill arch.
