Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 8 - 90 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical
Indo-West Pacific: known from scattered localities from off Zanzibar to New Caledonia.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9710)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 6. Recognized by the large rounded head and deeply incised membranes of the spinous part of the dorsal fin (Ref. 48635).
Inhabits silty coastal reefs (Ref. 9710); also in sheltered sand habitats in coastal bays and deep offshore. Uncommon and mainly known from prawn trawling grounds. Nocturnal, coming out on dusk, usually buries itself in the sand during the day (Ref. 48635).
