Two dark spots are situated on the central part of its dorsal surface, one just to the posterior of the pectoral fin and the second is midway between the forward spot and the tail.

It can vary the colour of the body so that it closely matches the surface the fish rests on. They grow to 50 cm, but 30 cm in length is the more usual size
