Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 9710)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 7; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 9; Anale stekels: 2; Anale zachte stralen: 8. Body with midlateral black stripe, as wide as the pupil, tapers to a point on base of middle caudal-fin rays; body and head below it generally yellow; on snout and behind pectoral fin, midlateral stripe is bordered by a narrow yellowish white zone; above mid-lateral stripe body and head white, but top of head with a yellow tinge; dorsal stripe dark gray, separated from dorsal fins by a narrow white zone; a median dark gray stripe may be present from interorbital area to first dorsal-fin origin; fins pale. Developed gill rakers on hypobranchial 0-1; on ceratobranchial 8 (Ref. 8525).
Inhabits protected habitats, where conditions are similar to those of lagoons. Also found on coastal reefs (Ref. 9710). Usually seen solitary, occasionally in pairs. Mimics the sabre-toothed blenny Meiacanthus vittatus. Active during day (Ref 90102).
