Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Solitary or in loose groups in sand (Ref. 90102). Inhabits shallow coastal bays and estuaries on silty sandy substrates with sparse algae-reef or seagrasses (Ref. 48637). Benthic (Ref. 58302). Feeds on organic matter and small invertebrates (Ref. 89972).
