Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 7251); 50.0 cm TL (female)
A very, slender, elongate, cylindrical eel with a projecting lower jaw. Lateral line complete ending at base of tail. (Ref. 26938).
Young and females burrow in sandy tide pools and reef tracts. Males inhabit deeper water, possibly pelagic. Adults emerge at night and sometimes come to lights at the surface (Ref. 26938). Feed on burrowing invertebrates that live in the sand (Ref. 26938).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 23.8 - 28.2, mean 27.3 °C (based on 786 cells).
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5003 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.

Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.37 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 50 [20, 135] mg/100g; Iron = 0.584 [0.290, 1.102] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [16.8, 21.6] %; Omega3 = 0.203 [0.081, 0.560] g/100g; Selenium = 10.4 [4.1, 25.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 114 [26, 489] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.4 [0.8, 2.2] mg/100g (wet weight);
