Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 4.7 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 90102)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 16 - 18; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 7. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: no teeth on palatines; dorsal segmented rays usually 16-18 (rarely 20); fourth or fifth dorsal spine longest; pectoral rays 12-13, all unbranched; predorsal scales extend anteriorly only to vertical through mid-pupil; lateral line complete or interrupted, with 15-26 + 0-4 tubed scales. Colouration: a large black spot on the middle portion of dorsal fin, one near the end of the dorsal fin, one over the base of the last four anal rays, and one mid-ventrally on the abdomen in front of the anus (Ref. 123579).
Inhabits coral reefs in lagoons and exposed areas (Ref. 8944). Deep-dwelling fishes. Feeds on small fishes and crustaceans (Ref. 37816). Solitary in crevices (Ref 90102).
