The species is most closely related to the Asian sheephead wrasse.The California, Asian, and goldspot sheephead wrasses were previously considered to form their own genus Semicossyphus, but are now lumped into Bodianus, after molecular phylogenetics showed that Semicossyphus was nested deep within Bodianus.

The sheepshead minnow is a deep-bodied fish growing up to a length of up to 75 mm (3 in) through 30 mm (1.2 in). [3] It is nearly half as deep as it is long, excluding its tail. It is laterally compressed with flat sides, an arched back and a small head with a flattened top.
Within their native range, Western Atlantic seabream are also known as the seabream, [3] brim, [4] tropical sheepshead, [4] chopa amarilla, [5] or salema. [4] Although they are eaten, and have been described as pan fish , Western Atlantic seabream have not gained the popularity as a gamefish that their relative, the sheepshead ( A ...
