Écologie
marin benthopélagique; profondeur 7 - 120 m (Ref. 10672). Tropical; 24°N - 18°N, 161°W - 151°W (Ref. 57359)

Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 17.3 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 10672); 14.2 cm SL (female)
Loose aggregation feeds on zooplankton as much as 5 meters above the sandy bottom. Highly protrusible premaxilla facilitates feeding on small animals of the zooplankton (Ref. 10672).
