Description
Lutjanus monostigma can reach a maximum length of 60 centimetres (24 in) in males, with a common length of 50 centimetres (20 in). The dorsal profile of head is gently to moderately sloped and adults are silvery white with yellow fins. These dark eyed fishes have 10 dorsal spines, 3 anal spines and very large canine teeth. They show a small black side spot (hence the common name) just below the dorsal fin. This spot usually disappears with age. Flesh may cause ciguatera poisoning.
