Environnement : milieu / zone climatique / profondeur / gamme de distribution
Écologie
marin; saumâtre récifal; profondeur 5 - 80 m (Ref. 37816). Tropical; 25°N - 21°S
Indo-West Pacific: Thailand to Vanuatu, north to the Ryukyu Islands (Ref. 559) and southeast China, south to Australia.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturité: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 25.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 48635)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 15 - 17; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 7 - 9; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 10 - 12. Body colors highly variable and best identified by the patterns on the fins (Ref. 48635). Lower 2 pectoral rays are entirely free and used as "walking" legs and the inner face of the fin is brightly colored (Ref. 37816).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Found on open sandy or silty substrates of lagoon and seaward reefs. Often buries itself and easily overlooked. Uses pectoral fins to startle predators and shows color during courtship (Ref. 48635). Feeds on small fishes and crustaceans (Ref. 9710). The venom of this fish can be deadly to man. Its ability to camouflage itself by living half-buried presents a real danger. Solitary on sand and mud bottoms (Ref 90102).
