It grows to a maximum of 16 cm (6.3 inches) long. The body is mainly white, with a series of yellow dots running at diagonal lines over the sides. A black band extends from the caudal peduncle along the bases of the dorsal and anal fins. There is a narrow black eyestripe edged with yellow.
The Yellow-dotted Butterflyfish is found on coastal reefs, primarily on rubble slopes from 8–50 metres (26–160 ft) in depth. It feeds on benthic invertebrates.
