Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 18 - 26; Anale zachte stralen: 4. Dark brown with parallel of small black spots in series along trunk, and some white speckles (Ref. 48635).
Occur on the continental shelf (Ref. 75154). Found in tide pool, seagrass, and coral reef areas. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The males carry the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Males may be brooding at 3.5-4.0 cm SL (Ref. 5316). Also found in lagoons and seaward reefs (Ref 90102).
