Ecologia
marino; salmastro associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 1 - 20 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical

Size / Peso / Age
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 28.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 90102); peso massimo pubblicato: 400.00 g (Ref. 3132)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 3; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 19 - 21; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 16 - 18; Vertebre: 27 - 28.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Found in coastal reefs and among mangroves, sometimes in crevices or caves (Ref. 9710). Occurs in estuaries and fairly common in the tidally influenced part of the lower Mekong (Ref. 12693). Conceals itself in mud or debris and waits for prey to come by (Ref. 12693). Feeds on crabs, prawns, mollusks, echinoderms, and fishes. Stab wounds from spines can result to severe pain. Rarely trawled. Marketed fresh in the Mekong delta (Ref. 12693).
