Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 48637)
Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 9 - 10. C. maudae differs from C. leucostictus by having a narrow white bar in the middle of each interspace between the white saddles (Ref. 37816); characterized by mottled dark brown body color; presence of at least five whitish saddles across back; snout and jaw tips bright white; anal fin with diagonal dark bands; anal fin positioned posteriorly, origin level with third ray of second dorsal fin; united pelvic fins, presence of frenum; longitudinal scale series 120; head without scales; greatest depth of body 5.9-7.0 in SL; rounded caudal fin, slightly longer than head (Ref. 90102).
Inhabits tide pools and mud flats of brackish to fresh waters (Ref. 37816). Also found on rubble patches on coastal reef (Ref. 48637).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 26.3 - 29.3, mean 28.8 °C (based on 1972 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 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.

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