Western Pacific.
Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 22.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 48636)
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 39 - 41. Males recognized by long dorsal fin rays and large size (Ref. 48636). Under dorsal fin with 1 or 2 free pterygiophores (Ref 12934).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Found in steep sand slopes in large aggregations (Ref. 8631). Hovers above clean sandy bottoms; darts into the sand when disturbed. Usually slightly silty habitat. Usually seen resting on substrate, leaving substrate to grab prey from zooplankton floating over, or when displaying (Ref. 48636).
