Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 12; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 10 - 11; Vertebre: 26. This species is distinguished by the following character: D2 usually I,11 (rarely I,12); A I,10-11; tongue rounded to truncate; posterior nostril with well-developed anterior flap (Ref. 115539).
A benthic, inshore species, on the sandy fringe of coral reefs (Ref. 75154). Also found in rubble in lagoons and sheltered waters in 9-24 m (Ref 90102) and crevices close to the base of fringing reefs in the depth range of 1.5-16 m (Ref. 115539).
