As settlement approaches, pigment intensifies and spreads, taking on aspects of the juvenile pigment pattern. The anterior half of the spiny dorsal fin becomes intensely pigmented, and this pigment spreads ventrally onto the lateral surface of the body, eventually forming a large black blotch extending nearly to the lateral line. Similarly, the middle portions of the soft dorsal fin become intensely pigmented, and this pigment spreads ventrally to form a second, large blotch extending to the lateral line. Following settlement, these two blotches merge along the back, leaving unpigmented the middle portion of the dorsal fin. The pigment extends along the dorsal surface of the caudal peduncle to join the caudal pigment. The posterior third of the caudal peduncle becomes heavily pigmented, as does the caudal-fin with the exception of the distal portions of the dorsal-most and ventral-most rays. Pigment also extends along the ventral surface of the caudal peduncle, joining a large blotch extending dorsally from the heavily pigmented soft rays of the anal fin. The pelvic fin becomes heavily pigmented, and this pigment then extends dorsally to the base of the pectoral fin before settlement. The pectoral fin also becomes heavily pigmented. The heavy brain and opercular pigment present at

Finally, a separate small cluster of pigment forms at the tip of the snout. In life, the portions of the body that are not black are coloured white, resulting in a striking, and distinctive pattern (in contrast, non-black portions of the fins remain unpigmented). The distinctive post-settlement colour pattern is illustrated by

The fine serrations of the fin spines if present in smaller larvae, combined with the pigment characters above may assist in the identification of smaller larvae, as will the distinctive fin-ray counts.
