Épines dorsales (Total) : 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 17 - 19; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 18 - 21. Long, flap-like supraorbital tentacle with low lateral branches; upper lips more crenulate than lower; body coloration dark gray-brown with faint, paired dark bars on body and numerous pale blue spots with dark margins in ca. 5 longitudinal rows; dark gray-brown dorsal fin, membranes with numerous oblique whitish lines anteriorly fragmenting into spots and uneven short lines in spinous portion of fin; dark gray-brown caudal fin with variably-sized small white spots and a broad, deep red posterior margin; dark gray-brown anal and paired fins, the anal with a white spot at base of each ray. Middle 4-8 of 14 segmented rays branched; lateral-line pores 1-6 (Ref. 54980).
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Adults are found in tidepools (Ref. 54980). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
