Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 21-23; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 4. Body rings 14 + 33-37. Slender species with branching tentacles on the head (Ref. 48635).
Adults occur in lagoon and seaward reefs, at moderate depths (Ref. 48635). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Solitary and cryptic among corals and weeds (Ref 90102).
