Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 8. Grey of brown blotched pattern with white interspaces and spots (Ref. 48635).
Found in coastal, silty habitat on reefs amongst branching corals or with long-spined urchins, in depths to at least 15 m (Ref. 48635). Types were captured between 3-50 m on sand and coral bottom, but one paratype (USNM 112098) was taken at over 300 m, presumably in a trawl, on a bottom dominated by Globigerina (Ref. 90035).
