Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 8; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 9; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 2; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 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).
