The pagoda has a silvery body with pink highlights and a black spot on the base of the pectoral fins. Its size varies from 15 to 40 cm. The pagoda evolves on sandy, rocky bottoms and along the drop-offs up to 250 m deep. The juveniles stay in shallow depths, in the meadows, to escape their predators. Older adults remain in deeper water. Solitary, the pagre is rarely observed by divers. Adults are caught by trawls.
