Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 64 - 76; Rayons mous anaux: 51 - 62; Vertèbres: 41 - 44. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: D 64-76 (mode 71); A 51-62; pored lateral line scales on straight portion 93-126 (118); vertebrae 41-44 (43); pectoral-fin rays on ocular side 4-7 (6) and on blind side 4-7 (5); pelvic-fin rays on ocular side 4-6 (5) and blind side 4-5 (4); caudal-fin rays 13-15 (14); body slightly elongate, its depth 40.0-51.0 (mean 45.5)% SL; head length 16.1-23.9 (18.6)% SL; pectoral fin on ocular side longer than that on blind side, 5.3-7.6 (6.6)% SL vs. 4.0-6.0 (4.8)% SL; pelvic fin on ocular side longer than that on blind side, 4.9–7.4 (6.0)% SL vs. 4.3–7.5 (5.8)% SL; body depth below lateral line 21.7-27.1 (23.4)% SL; lips without labial papillae; eyes separated by scaled interorbital space; cycloid or weakly ctenoid scales on blind side. Colouration: body on ocular side uniformly brown or grey with dark vermiculation, some small white blotches along dorsal- and anal-fin bases, or no remarkable pattern (Ref. 126081).
Inhabits sheltered bays and lagoons on pale sandy substrates near reefs (Ref. 48637). Collected froom from shallow marine and estuarine waters in less than 5 m; but there are underwater photographs of individuals on shallow sandy bottoms between 2–30 m depth (Ref. 126081).
