Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 13; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 9; Εδρικές άκανθες: 2; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 7 - 8. Long filaments at the tips of the dorsal fin spines and outer rays of the caudal fin (Ref. 48635).
Usually found in sheltered coastal bays and fine sand or muddy habitats. May partly bury itself in the substrate during the day and is easily overlooked. When disturbed, the brightly colored pectoral fins probably serves to startle predators. The large fins serve primarily to corner prey when hunting (Ref. 48635). Trawled on soft bottom in coastal waters (Ref. 4313), to 300 m depth (Ref. 48635).
