Épines dorsales (Total) : 7; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8 - 10; Épines anales: 1; Rayons mous anaux: 7 - 8. This species is distinguished by the following characters: cephalic sensory-canal pore system lacking only the IT pore (pattern 2); branched pectoral-fin rays; dorsal/anal-fin formula 9/8; the fifth pelvic-fin ray is 10-20% of fourth ray; absence of postocular spot; without dark spot on preural centrum area nor prominent dark spots on pectoral-fin base; caudal fin with strong scattered well-spaced dark spots (Ref. 107299).
Inhabits sheltered reefs in 1-20 m (Ref 90102). Occupies a limited range of substrates: dead reef, dead reef with silty sand, silt, and also fine sand (Ref. 116739).
