Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Épines dorsales (Total) : 5; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8 - 9; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 32 - 34. Ventral profile deeply curved in front of anal fin, tapering upward to slender caudal peduncle. Mouth very oblique (Ref. 26938). Scales ctenoid along the back posterior to dorsal fin and ventrally on head and body, otherwise cycloid, coppery with a dark band at base of anal fin; young nearly transparent, silvery over abdomen (Ref. 13442).

Occurs in clear water with coral bottom. Form aggregations in dark crevices and caves (Ref. 9710). Nocturnal (Ref. 9626). Its name probably refers to the juveniles, which are so transparent that the backbone can be seen in the living fish (Ref. 26938). Feeds on zooplankton, particularly the larval stages of invertebrates (Ref. 13442).
