Characteristic bullseye profile with large head, almost straight back and rapidly tapering lower body. Gold or silver colouration, with small scales, conspicuous pale lateral line and back in gold colour forms, dorsal and tail fins with black tips, ventral fin with black marginal stripe. It is easily distinguished by the black markings at the tips of the dorsal and tail fins, and by the golden lateral line. The blacktip bullseye is often seen in mixed schools with the smallscale bullseye on reefs along the east coast. Found in caves and under ledges during the day. Endemic to eastern Australia.

• IUCN Threat Status: Not Evaluated
• Occurrence: Common (20% of sites)
  Occurrence describes how often the species is found on surveys within its distribution. It is calculated as the % of reef sites surveyed by RLS divers across all the ecoregions in which the species has been observed
• Abundance: Many (39 per transect)
  Abundance is calculated as the average number of individuals recorded per RLS transect, where present.
