This large brightly-coloured wrasse is common amongst kelp on rocky reefs on New South Wales, and is often seen by divers in the Sydney region. A carnivore, this species has an unusual upper jaw with two large teeth anterioroly and a single tooth curving forward at the rear of the jaw.
Females are red, green or grey with rows of white spots. Males have white cheeks, a red band across the body, red dorsal and anal fins and a white caudal peduncle and tail.
The species name gymnogenis comes from the Greek gymnon meaning bare and genys meaning cheek. This refers to the nearly naked cheeks that have a single row of scales.
