Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 22 - 25; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 26 - 28. Body pale, with 8-12 narrow, short bars across dorsal surface (Ref. 5467). Dorsal saddles not reaching, even if present, a lateral band. Combined number of soft rays in dorsal and anal fins usually 44 to 51 (Ref 12874).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Benthic in surge-swept sand patches and shorelines (Ref. 1602, 58302). Found in sea bottoms with coarse sand and fine gravel 4-20 m deep (Ref. 90102). Occurs in small groups that bury themselves in coarse sand patches on reef corners subject to currents (Ref. 48636).
