Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 11.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 90102)
Large adults with multiple filaments on the tail and button-like marking along the mid-lateral stripe (Ref. 48636).
Adults occur in small schools along deep outer reef walls, usually swims upside-down on the ceilings of large caves (Ref. 48636). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
