Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
This species is distinguished in having the following characters: bony body; double gill openings; R 10 + 35-38 (holotype: 10 + 37); coronet moderately high; CoT 5; CHGO 26.8-41.0 % HL; CHMC 36.3-55.4 % HL; a very blunt or truncated spine on the dorsal fin base; absence of the wing-tip spine on dorsal fin base (Ref. 117115).
Reported to live in a wide range of habitats, from shallow high-energy algae reefs to soft bottom habitats (Ref. 117115). Length type refers to height (= TL - head length). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205).
