This marine fish is common in the western Atlantic from Massachusetts to Argentina, and can be found in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. At its adult size, it averages 14 inches in length and weighs 20 ounces. Its color is gray to blue-green on top with sides of silver with four narrow, vertical bars.

This fish favors clear water in sandy shores and bays, and may school above coral reefs. It feeds on worms, insects, and smaller fish.
