Espinas dorsales (total) : 3; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 28 - 29; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 14 - 15; Vértebra: 26. This species is distinct in having the following characters: hyaline pectoral fins, some ctenoid scales on cheek and operculum; rounded to truncate caudal fin; 17-22 predorsal scales, extending anteriorly to point ranging from anterior AIO pores to posterior nasal pores; dark (more or less) vertical bars extending from above and below eye absent (Ref. 81967).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Solitary and cryptic. Inhabits caves and under ledges of coastal fringing reefs (Ref 90102). This species has been observed to inhabit the tubular sponge Callyspongia aerizusa (Ref. 93553).
