Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 23.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 4313)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 12; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 9; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais moles: 5. Highly variable in color and in appendages in relation to habitat. Covered with appendages on algae reefs, but plain when deep with sponges (Ref. 48635). Body highly compressed and covered with weed-like tassels (Ref. 37816).
Found in rich soft-bottom habitats in current prone channels (Ref. 48635); also in rocky or coralline habitats near algae where it camouflages itself. Hunts prey at night like other species of scorpaenids, feeding on fish and small invertebrates. Solitary among corals, rocks and weeds (Ref 90102).
