Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 25.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 3132)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 7; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 10. Body mostly pale with faint broad dusky bands especially dorsally. A prominent ocellated dark spot present on dorsal fin between last few spines. Body deep at level of dorsal-fin origin (2.3 to 2.6 times in SL). Second prominent anterior canine mostly straight, only slightly curved in large specimens, angled dorsolaterally and sometimes slightly posteriorly.
Adults inhabit flat sandy or weedy areas (Ref. 3131). Found solitary in rubble, silt or sand bottoms (Ref. 90102). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). A good food fish.
