Espinas dorsales (total) : 12; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 12; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 14. Head and usually pectoral fin base have orange spots on dark background. Black spot on side of head behind eye (Ref. 26938). Gill opening extending ventrally to below level of ventralmost pectoral-fin ray; segmented dorsal-fin rays 11 or 12; segmented pelvic-fin rays 4; last dorsal-fin spine 3.7 to 7.5% SL (Ref. 10696).
Adults live in attached, empty barnacle shells in clear waters, usually on pilings, buoys and rock ledges at or near surface. Recorded from oil platforms. 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).
