Ecologia
marino demersale; non migratori; distribuzione batimetrica 20 - 450 m (Ref. 100719). Tropical; 31°N - 30°S, 31°E - 99°E (Ref. 3810)
Western Indian Ocean: including the east and west coast of India, Pakistan, Persian Gulf, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, east African coast, Seychelles and Madagascar, east to Myanmar. A Lessepsian migrant (Ref. 84163). This species has been previously misidentified as Nemipterus mesoprion.

Pectoral and pelvic fins very long, reaching to or just beyond level of origin of anal fin. A line drawn up from posterior edge of suborbital reaching the dorsal profile at about 3 to 7 scale rows before origin of dorsal fin. Upper lobe of caudal fin produced into a long trailing light red filament. Axillary scale present. Color: Body silvery pink. Peritoneum salmon-pink.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Benthic on sand or mud bottoms (Ref. 30573). No major fishery exists, but a large population is believed to occur in the Persian Gulf. Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 127989.
