Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 73 - 81; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 52 - 59; Σπόνδυλοι: 40 - 43. This species is characterized by the following: Vertebrae 12-13 + 28-31 = 40-43, dorsal fin rays 73-81, anal fin rays 52-59; outer pseudoclasper wingshaped with single curved supporter anteriorly; inner pseudoclasper club-shaped, with long, very thin appendix inserted posterior-distally half way down clasper; small fleshy lobe at base of hood adjacent to outer pseudoclasper, penis tapering; opercular spine with single, sharp tip; scale patch on cheeks with 7-8 vertical scale rows; body mucus with dense aggregation of green pigment globules (Ref. 57883).
Inhabits shallow coral reefs. Identification of females is uncertain; no information on number of embryos is available (Ref. 57883).
