Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 18 - 20; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 18 - 21. Head and body greyish brown with small white spots; median fin with white dots. Dorsal fin deeply notched; segmented caudal rays usually 13-14, branched middle 6-9; pinnately branched supraorbital tentacle; lacking nape cirri; posterior rim of anterior nostril with small cirrus, typically unbranched; upper and lower lip margins smooth; with occipital crest (higher in males); last dorsal ray and caudal peduncle connected by membrane; elongate body, depth at anal-fin origin ca. 7.7-7.9 in SL. Maximum size to 9 cm TL (Ref. 90102).
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Adults inhabit exposed rocky shores (Ref. 90102). 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).
