Max length : 12.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 9710); common length : 10.4 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 37816)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 9; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 16; Épines anales: 1 - 2; Rayons mous anaux: 14 - 15; Vertèbres: 24. Preopercular serrae 27-44 (Ref. 9933).

Adults usually live in very deep water adjacent to reef drop-offs (Ref. 48635); also on sandy and rubble areas (Ref. 9710). They build large rubble mounts (Ref. 48635). They feed on zooplankton. Solitary or in small groups (Ref 90102). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
