Banded Sea Perch have variable body colour from cream to green or red. They have four thick dark vertical bands, many brown spots and bulging eyes on the top of the head. There is a yellow spot at the base of the pectoral fin and a dark blotch just below the lateral line under the middle dorsal fin.
Banded Sea Perch grow to 30cms.
They are considered good eating.
Banded Sea Perch are endemic to Australia, occurring from northern NSW, south including Tasmania, to south western Western Australia.
