Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 3; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 28 - 29; Εδρικές άκανθες: 3; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 14 - 15; Σπόνδυλοι: 26. This species is distinct in having the following characters: hyaline pectoral fins, some ctenoid scales on cheek and operculum; rounded to truncate caudal fin; 17-22 predorsal scales, extending anteriorly to point ranging from anterior AIO pores to posterior nasal pores; dark (more or less) vertical bars extending from above and below eye absent (Ref. 81967).
Solitary and cryptic. Inhabits caves and under ledges of coastal fringing reefs (Ref 90102). This species has been observed to inhabit the tubular sponge Callyspongia aerizusa (Ref. 93553).
