Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin démersal; profondeur 1 - 27 m (Ref. 26268). Tropical; 27°N - 10°N, 89°W - 60°W (Ref. 26268)
Western Central Atlantic: Widespread through insular regions of the Caribbean Sea, including Glover's Reef, St. Eustatius, St. Barthelemy, and the French West Indies. Rarely captured along the continental margins of the Caribbean.
Length at first maturity / Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ?, range 3 - ? cm
Max length : 4.3 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 53028); 5.7 cm SL (female)
Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 76 - 77; Rayons mous anaux: 61 - 62. Slender, small; pale with distinct, dark ocellated spots near rear of dorsal and anal fins.
Inhabits sandy substrates, also those submerged beds of aquatic vegetation, in clear shallow waters near coral reefs. Little is known of its biology since its captured infrequently and generally in small numbers; most captures were a single fish (Ref. 26268).
