Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 11. Body pale blue-gray with prominent yellow-orange spots on head and a pair of stripes on upper half of body. No scales on head, including predorsal; cycloid scales on anterior part of body, becoming ctenoid posteriorly (Ref. 31115); characterized further by blue markings on snout; elevated first dorsal fin; united pelvic fins, presence of well developed frenum; longitudinal scale series 50-55; greatest depth of body 6.1-6.8 in SL; lanceolate caudal fin, longer than head length (Ref. 90102).
Occurs on sand-rubble slope at the base of a vertical cliff (22-30 m depth) and on small sand patches at the undercut bases of reefs. Each individual hovers at the entrance of a rubble-lined burrow occupied by an alpheid shrimp, where it hides when disturbed (Ref. 31115).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
