Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Anal soft rays: 54 - 61. Caudal peduncle absent. Dorsal- and anal-fin rays with a broad, membranous ridge extending from base of each ray and gradually narrowing to ray tip. Ocular side with prominent dark blotches in 3 rows; the middle one with just 2 blotches, the largest and darkest (Ref. 48239).
Benthic on sand, rubble or reef (Ref. 58302). Often buried in sand in caves. Feeds on small crustaceans (shrimps, crabs, isopods, ostracods, and amphipods, caprellids (Ref. 13070).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.9 - 25.6, mean 25.3 °C (based on 32 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00473 - 0.02021), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.56 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
