Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 25 - 31; Raggi anali molli: 4.
Adults inhabit lagoon and seaward reefs. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Solitary or paired among corals and algae patches (Ref 90102).
