Olive brown with irregular dark spots and streaks; speckled fins; normally with a dark line from eye to origin of LL and stripe from eye to angle of preopercle (Ref. 4329, 48635). Developed gill rakers 5-7. A distinctive small white spot centrally at base of caudal fin (Ref. 48635).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Adults occur inshore (Ref. 7300). Found among rubble of reef flats and 'dead' reefs (Ref. 1602, 58302). Benthic and benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Secretive (Ref. 48635), nocturnal species (Ref. 7300). Eggs are incubated orally (Ref. 205). Monogamous and always in home-ranging pairs, that is they do not defend an exclusive territory (Ref. 52884). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 57178.
