Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 1 - 110 m (Ref. 26938), usually 10 - 50 m (Ref. 5217). Tropical; 22°C - 28°C (Ref. 130653); 41°N - 33°S

Max length : 18.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 26340); common length : 12.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 5217); peso massimo pubblicato: 75.80 g (Ref. 131022)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 76 - 91; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 58 - 69. Light tan to light gray with irregular pale rings or rosettes, some of which are dark-edged; scattered small dark spots and three large blackish spots along straight portion of lateral line, the middle one the best defined (Ref. 13442).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Inhabits sandy areas with coral rubble or seagrasses, usually near patch reefs (Ref. 9710). Shallow coastal waters to depths of 110 m (Ref. 26938). Lies motionless on the bottom, moving only when frightened (Ref. 9710). Larvae are attracted to lights at night but are difficult to see because they are transparent (Ref. 26938). About one-third of the diet consists of fishes; the rest of its food is crustaceans: crabs, shrimps, amphipods, and mantis shrimps (Ref. 13442).
