Characterized by pale grey to whitish body color; several large brown spots on middle of side; back and side interspersed with brown mottling; posterior margin of first dorsal fin with pair of pale-edged black spots; united pelvic fins, well developed frenum present; longitudinal scale series 54-58; posterior body with ctenoid scales, becoming cycloid anteriorly; head without scales; greatest depth of body 5.5-6.4 in SL; lanceolate caudal fin, a little longer than head length; reduced posterior oculoscapular sensory canal, single pore (H') present (Ref. 90102).
Inhabits fine carbonate sand bottoms of well-protected lagoons (Ref. 37816). Found in coastal bays and estuaries on sand or muddy substrates to 25 meters depth (Ref. 48637). Also found in lagoons and sheltered bays in 10-25 m (Ref 90102).
