Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 7; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 13 - 15; Anale stekels: 1; Anale zachte stralen: 12 - 14. Males with 3 black spots near base of 2nd dorsal fin and round spots on cheek; females with brown-edged band from upper lip to upper operculum (Ref. 2798).
Epibenthic and littoral, entering estuaries and lagoons (Ref. 4343). Usually seen in pairs, hovering a short distance above the substratum. Monogamous (Ref. 52884). t builds its burrow in sand or silty sand by moving out mouthfuls of sediment (Ref. 11441). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 9773.
