Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 2.4 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 48635)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 19 - 21; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 3 - 5; Spine anali: 8 - 10; Raggi anali molli: 3 - 5. Nearly all black, but a thin white line over the back from the tip of the snout and along the tips of the dorsal fin spines (Ref. 48635).
Cryptic and rarely seen (Ref. 90102). Adults are found in shallow wave-washed seaward reefs; also in sheltered rubble reef slopes to at least 20 m depth (Ref. 48635). Eggs are guarded by the male parent (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.6 - 29.3, mean 28.8 °C (based on 982 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00457 (0.00175 - 0.01195), b=3.11 (2.88 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
