Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 48636)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 4; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 7. Unbranched infraorbital canal, very short upward and downward branches of lateral line. Anal fin dark with many darker spots (Ref. 37424). First dorsal spine is extended with a filament in males. This species has double series of small pearly spots along lower sides (Ref. 48636).
Inhabits coastal bays and estuaries (Ref. 48636), over sand, mud, or dead coral rubble of lagoons and outer reef slopes. Feeds mainly on small benthic invertebrates. Usually buried in substrate. Occurs in small groups (Ref. 48636). May also be solitary (Ref. 90102).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00359 - 0.01758), b=2.80 (2.61 - 2.99), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
