Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 23 - 27.
Secretive, inner reefs (Ref. 48635); commonly collected from coral bottoms at less than 4 m, but has been collected as deep as 36 m. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 25.2 - 29.3, mean 28.2 °C (based on 2335 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
