Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 9710)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 6. Recognized by the large rounded head and deeply incised membranes of the spinous part of the dorsal fin (Ref. 48635).
Inhabits silty coastal reefs (Ref. 9710); also in sheltered sand habitats in coastal bays and deep offshore. Uncommon and mainly known from prawn trawling grounds. Nocturnal, coming out on dusk, usually buries itself in the sand during the day (Ref. 48635).
