Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9; Espinas anales: 1 - 9; Radios blandos anales: 9; Vértebra: 26. This species is distinguished by the following characters: no cephalic sensory canals and pores; sensory-papillae row 4i not extending ventrally beyond a horizontal line through posterior end of row d; right and left sides of row n are not close to one another, with a broad interspace between them; branched caudal-fin rays 7+7=14; pale area on dorsum from snout to dorsoanterior part of body is relatively long, extending posteriorly to around base of third or fourth spine; presence of a conspicuous ocellated black spot with vivid pale margin at center of first dorsal fin, extending anteriorly beyond third spine; absence of a submarginal row of black spots on caudal fin (Ref. 90832).
Found only on sandy areas, and symbiotically associates with a snapping shrimp, probably Alpheus djiboutensis where it swims freely at ca. 10-15 cm above the nest hole as it moves its pectoral fins alternately. It was also reported that, in the northern Red Sea, it is associated with an unidentified Alpheus species which is not A. djiboutensis (Ref. 90832).
