Größe / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 25.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 3592); common length : 15.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 3467)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 2; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 32 - 36; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 29 - 32. Can adopt three basic color patterns: mottled grey and brown, dark brown, or grey with a network of close-set polygonal spots. All have a small white spot at the rear base of the second dorsal fin and sometimes the anal fin.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Occurs on outer reef slopes to depths of 2 to more than 20 m (Ref. 1602, 48637), often silty habitats. Young float with loose surface weeds and adults are often with large Sargassum rafts during the wet season (Ref. 48637). Solitary. Feeds on benthic organisms (Ref. 30573). Somewhat secretive (Ref. 9710). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
