Young specimens show the praeoperculum very distinctly serrated ; 

 and traces of the serraiture may be frequently found in specimens of 

 four to six inches in length, if the skin covering the praeopercular 

 edge is removed. Such specimens have been described as Labrus 

 pvsillm and CrenUabrus multidentatus.

 on a specimen of this species.
