Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.8 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 54980)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 4 - 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 10; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 9 - 12. Premaxilla with long ascending process and two lateral processes. Gill rakers 22-25. Midlateral scale count 38-42.
Relatively common in both high island and atoll lagoons (Ref. 1602). They are not found in the rougher waters over reefs and are attracted to light at night in lagoons (Ref. 9760). Used as bait in the tuna fishery (Ref. 6822).
