Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 5; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 20 - 22; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 20 - 22; Vértebra: 32 - 33. Total number of body plates is 33-35. Color and color patterns highly variable: most specimens in dark-color phase with dark red background overlaid with reticulated yellow to orange blotches; some in light-color phase of yellow to beige with few spots of darker pigment on body. Two large black spots present between first and third dorsal-fin spines (Ref. 9829). Long caudal peduncle and elongated caudal fin (Ref. 48635).
Body shape (shape guide): other; Cross section: flattened.
Adults occur over muddy bottom. Females carry the eggs in their pelvic fins that are modified to form a brood pouch (Ref. 205).
