Ecología
marino demersal; rango de profundidad 40 - 300 m (Ref. 4313). Temperate
Indo-West Pacific: Natal, South Africa to southern Japan (Ref. 4313). Two populations apparently exists, the Western Pacific and SE African coast (Ref. 54479).

Max length : 38.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 90102)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 7 - 8. Long filaments at the tips of the dorsal fin spines and outer rays of the caudal fin (Ref. 48635).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Usually found in sheltered coastal bays and fine sand or muddy habitats. May partly bury itself in the substrate during the day and is easily overlooked. When disturbed, the brightly colored pectoral fins probably serves to startle predators. The large fins serve primarily to corner prey when hunting (Ref. 48635). Trawled on soft bottom in coastal waters (Ref. 4313), to 300 m depth (Ref. 48635).
