Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7 - 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8 - 9. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of unique characters: D VI, D2 I,7-8 (modally 8); A I,8-9 (modally 8), P 18-19 (modally 18); first dorsal fin never filamentous; lateral body with small ctenoid scales, longitudinal scale rows 56-59 (modally 57), predorsal scales 23-29 (modally 26); caudal fin creamy yellow or pale yellow, with broad black submarginal edge in male; in male, upper caudal fin base with a large rounded black spot (Ref. 94983).
Occurs in the shallow tidal pools of the mangrove region of Malay Peninsula, a muddy intertidal habitat (Ref. 94983).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00338 - 0.01553), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
