Ecologie
marien rifbewoner; diepte 0 - 20 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical
Indo-West Pacific: East Africa to the Marshall Islands, north to the Ryukyu Islands, south to Australia. Likely to occur in Seychelles (Ref. 1623).
Lengte bij maturiteit / Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturiteit: Lm ?, range 44 - ? cm
Max length : 80.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 1602)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 0; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 0; Wervels: 134 - 145. Chestnut brown species that becomes darker posteriorly. Differs from the uniformly brown G. pindae by lacking the fine serrations on the posterior edges of the lower jaw teeth and by having a mouth that may not quite close completely.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
Inhabits relatively turbid areas of sheltered lagoon reefs (Ref. 1602, 37816). Including mangroves in 1-20 m (Ref 90102). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 86942.
