Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 9.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 26938)
Enlarged melanophores that form large stellate or squarish spots, usually more than 1 per scale below lateral line (Ref. 26938). Vertically elongate blackish blotch at caudal fin base (Ref. 13442).
Commonly found on shallow rocky and coral bottoms (Ref. 9626), in empty conch shells, rubble, or empty containers. Abundant where Acropora palmata abound (Ref. 9626). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Presence of buccal pouch for brooding eggs (Ref. 39366).
