Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9 - 11; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 7 - 8. Rose-pink in color, becoming scarlet on tail and fins. Pink with yellowish tinges ventrally. Deep reddish patch over most of body dorsally. Distinguished from other clingfishes by a broad, bluntly pointed head, with a thick, fleshy upper lip, no longitudinal groove below the eye but a line of papillae is usually present.
