Descrição suscinta
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 16 - 18; Raios dorsais (total) : 11 - 12; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 7 - 10. Diagnosis: deeper bodied with generally a somewhat thicker oblique stripe on the body and a less oblique mouth than C. orthognathus (Ref. 55954).
Found over sandy bottom but frequently stays in midwater. A specialized predator which steals brood from females by ramming the head from below. Stomach contents revealed only eggs, larvae and fry (Ref. 5595).
