Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 126002)
Found in moderately deep water, sometimes deeper that normal SCUBA-diving depths, hence its occasional capture (Ref. 27665).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 24.6 - 29, mean 27.2 °C (based on 157 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
