Etymology: Asterorhombus: Greek, aster = star + Greek, rhombos = paralelogram (Ref. 45335); filifer: Name from Latin, 'filum' for filament and 'fero' for carry, referring to the long first dorsal-fin ray, as it appears in small specimens and when the membrane is furled around the ray..

Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.5 cm SL (female)
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 81 - 88; Radios blandos anales: 63 - 69. This species is distinguished by the following combination of characters: palmate gill-rakers; uniserial dentition in both jaws; first dorsal-fin ray separated from remainder of fin, elongate, 0.8-1.7 in head length (HL), posterior membrane on ray broad, with a smooth margin, and running nearly entire length of ray; eyes usually with one tentacle, frequently branched; sexual dimorphism in interorbital width in specimens larger than ca. 60 mm SL, 8.9-18 in HL (1.6-3.1 % SL) in males, 15-21.2 (0.9-2.3 % SL) in females; body depth 2.0-2.5 in SL (40.4-50.1 SL); lateral line scales 56-67 (Ref. 57773).
Found near reefs, in gullies, or cave entrances on sand or coral- or rock-rubble bottoms at 3-57 m depth (Ref. 57759). Benthic (Ref. 58302). Feeds on small fishes and crustaceans (Ref. 89972).
