Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 30.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 9710)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais (total) : 11 - 13; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais : 10 - 12. Adults brown to grey with blotches and clusters of black spots on back and sides; pelagic juveniles covered with black spots (Ref. 4423).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Inhabit clear protected reefs with sponge and algal habitats. Often in large sponges during the day (Ref. 48637). Usually over sand and mud bottoms to at least 170 m (Ref. 30573). Occasionally on reefs (Ref. 9680). Active at night, feeding among reefs (Ref. 48637). A nocturnal species (Ref. 9710) that presumably feeds on hard-shelled invertebrates (Ref. 9680, 48637).
