Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 69.7 cm NG mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 89467); common length : 30.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 26999)
Dorsale stekels (totaal): 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal): 12-14; Anale stekels 0; Anale zachte stralen: 11 - 14. Adults grey to brown with a black gular band and small black spots on upper surfaces and fins; pelagic juveniles blue with dark spots above, the spots descending to belly (Ref. 4423).
Adults found in reefs and over soft bottoms to depths of 100 m, but may occur deeper in the tropics (Ref. 30573). Often found washed up on beaches. Known to brace themselves against the substrate to sleep at night (Ref. 4930). Appear to be active during the day. Juveniles often with floating weeds (Ref. 48637). Solitary. Juveniles pelagic in oceanic surface waters (Ref. 30573). Feed on hard-shelled invertebrates. Not usually marketed.
