Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.7 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 32505); 11.7 cm SL (female)
Raios dorsais (total) : 101 - 104; Raios anais : 86 - 90. Dorsal part of the body with marbled, brownish pigmentation, but lacking ocelli and stripes. Hind margin of preoperculum with 2 spines. Pseudobranchial filaments 2-4. Teeth granular. Ventral fin rays far from reaching anus, 12-14% SL (Ref. 40522).
Common species (Ref. 34024) found to feed on small gastropods and crustaceans (Ref. 32505). Reproductive strategy possibly similar to other members of this family featuring oviparity, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205).
