Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 25.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9710)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 11; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12 - 14; Spine anali: 4; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 9. Only species of Neoniphon that has yellow body stripes, 3.5 instead of 2.5 scale rows above the lateral line, and a last dorsal spine that is shorter than the second to the last one.
Benthopelagic in or near crevices or caves at 30-188 m (Ref. 58302); collected from 100-190 m (Ref, 117152). Confined to outer reef slopes (Ref. 1602). Rarely occurring in less than 40 m depth, in current prone areas (Ref. 48635). Solitary or in small groups (Ref 90102). Feeds on crustaceans (Ref. 89972).
