Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 54 - 57; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 29 - 30. Caudal rounded.
Adults occur near bottom (Ref. 2850). Young to 7.2 cm are pelagic or bathypelagic, usually associated with jellyfish (Ref. 6885). Juveniles take shelter under the medusae and are often mistaken for medusafish Icichthys lockingtoni (Ref. 50276).
