They have a dorsal fin that runs along the pricklebacks' backs and a lumpy ridge appears on adult monkeyface pricklebacks' heads.

A decorated warbonnet fish peeking out of a rock tunnel with cirri all over its head and its mouth slightly open in what appears to be a frown. A little bit of orange cup coral is right in front of it, and there is pink algae on the rocks.
