Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 50 - 54; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 35 - 40. Snout blunt; mouth frog-like. With a large fringed tentacle above each eye, a smaller one in front and others on top of head and on the anterior dorsal fin spines. First anal fin ray a short flexible spine.

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Usually over rocks and among seaweeds, never in intertidal zone, at 20 m, but descends from 100-280 m (Ref. 4782). Benthic (Ref. 58426). Feeds on bottom invertebrates (small mollusks, polychaetes, hydroids, sponges), also algae (Ref. 4782). Spawns in October - December (Ref. 35388).
