Espinhos dorsais (total) : 7; Raios dorsais (total) : 27 - 32; Espinhos anais: 1; Raios anais : 28 - 31.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Adults often occurs on deep outer coastal to outer reef drops-offs subject to moderate to strong currents (Refs. 48637, 95112). They are found over hard, open bottoms at the bases of reefs and over sand and rubble patches (Refs. 1602, 95112). Often in pairs (Refs. 1602, 95112). Monogamous (Ref. 52884). They feed on zooplankton, especially copepods and crustacean larvae. Darts into a hole when alarmed (Ref. 1602). Minimum depth reported from Ref. 27115.
