Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 12 - 14; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 16 - 20; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 18 - 22. Greenish grey, white on abdomen, numerous dark vertical lines on cheek, snout, and lips, about 5 pairs of dark bars on side of body, outer part of soft dorsal fin with oblique yellow bands, and middle of caudal-fin base with blackish blotch/steak. Dorsal fin deeply notched; segmented caudal rays typically 13-14, branched middle 1-8; pinnately branched supraorbital tentacle; lacking nape cirri; posterior rim of anterior nostril with small cirrus (typically unbranched); upper and lower lip margin crenulate; males with occipital crest; last dorsal ray and caudal peduncle connected by membrane; elongate body, depth at anal-fin origin ca. 6.0-6.6 in SL. Maximum length 9 cm TL (Ref. 90102).
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Adults inhabit rocky shores and intertidal zone (Ref. 90102). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
