It has four distinct black stripes (saddles) on its back. The head is blue-grey and the main body is white speckled with blue-grey spots. The tail and fins show hints of yellow and there is a rainbow streek of color behind the eyes.It feeds mainly on algae.

"C. valentini" are occasionally found in schools together with "Paraluteres prionurus", a non-toxic filefish which has evolved to mimic the very toxic "C. valentini" for protection against predators.
