Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 10 - 91 m (Ref. 26165), usually 10 - 60 m (Ref. 27115). Tropical; 22°C - 27°C (Ref. 27115); 32°N - 24°S

Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2334); common length : 12.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 9137)
Mostly found on open substrate with low reef and remote bommies in depths over 20 m. Juveniles maybe shallow in coastal reefs (Ref. 48635). Form small, loose aggregations along current-swept drop-offs (Ref. 1602, 48635).
