Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 5.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 2334)
Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 12 - 43; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 22 - 40. Body fully scale. At least some of the dorsal saddles reaching a distinct lateral band. Combined number of soft rays in dorsal and anal fins usually 49 to 55 (Ref 12874).
A cryptic species that occurs on sandy or gravel bottoms. Pointed snout is used for burrowing; eyes directed upwards for sighting prey. Found from shallow tide pools to at least 150 m (Ref. 2334). Eyes move independently and possess a refractive cornea, a convexiclivate fovea and a non-spherical lens (Ref. 50869). Neither cleitheral spine gland nor anterolateral glandural goove with gland is present (Ref. 57406).
