The Banana Fusilier is slender fish with small scales and a strongly forked caudal fin. The body is dull pinkish or greenish-blue and the caudal fin has reddish tips. There are no stripes along the sides of the body.
It grows to 21 cm in length.
The Banana Fusilier is a schooling species that usually occurs near coral reefs in tropical marine waters of the Indo-West Pacific.
Very few specimens of this species are registered in Australian museums, and little is known of its distributional range in Australian waters.
The Banana Fusilier looks similar to the Goldband Fusilier Pterocaesio chrysozona. The easiest way to tell them apart is the presence of a yellow stripe along the side of the body of the Goldband Fusilier.
