Größe / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.5 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 90102)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 5 - 6; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 22 - 25; Afterflossenstacheln: 2; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 15 - 18. Males with long filaments from the tips of the tail (Ref. 48636).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Adults are found on reef slopes with large soft-coral communities (Ref. 48636). They form groups usually among gorgonians or black coral (Ref. 90102) in shallow protected reefs. Relatively common and broadly distributed. Feed on zooplankton. 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). Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.
