Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 10. Characterized by greyish body color with dark brown bar below eye; gill cover with vertically elongate brown patch, dark brown spot just above; four large, rectangular blackish spots along middle of side to base of caudal fin; irregular brown spotting on back; spot near margin of first dorsal fin, large pale-edged black spot; united pelvic fins, frenum present; longitudinal scale series 77-97; posterior body with ctenoid scales, becoming cycloid anteriorly; head without scales; greatest depth of body5.1-6.1 in SL; lanceolate caudal fin, a little longer that head length; presence of oculoscapular sensory canal and pores (Ref. 90102).

Inhabits silty near shore reefs, often stream mouths in 1-5 m (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 28.2 - 29.2, mean 28.8 °C (based on 916 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
