Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 9; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 9 - 12; Εδρικές άκανθες: 2 - 3; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 9 - 12. Differs from C. praetextatus by having 12 instead of 13 dorsal rays, dark brown markings on the head and body, and lacking the small black spot on the upper base of the caudal fin (Ref. 1602).
A solitary species (Ref. 90102) common over sandy areas of reef flats and shallow sandy lagoons to a depth of at least 6 m. Also found in estuaries. Feeds on benthic invertebrates (Ref. 89972). Usually in current zones such as tidal channels. Juveniles often with small outcrops of rubble and algae or around the edges of sparse seagrasses (Ref. 48636). The species is capable of diving into sand when threatened.
