Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.0 cm TL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 48636)
Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 39 - 41. Trichonotus halstead is similar to T. setiger but has a beautifully colored dorsal fin (Ref. 48636). No free pterygiophores under dorsal fin (Ref 12934).
Like other sand divers, it occurs on sand slopes with strong currents at times (Ref. 48636). Minimum depth reported from Ref. 26146.
