Kurzbeschreibung
Morphologie | Morphometrie
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt): 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt): 8; Afterflossenstacheln 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 7. Upper two-thirds of head and body with groups of small dark brown spots; whitish ventrally; caudal fin with a dusky bar basally and a 2nd but fainter dark bar in outer middle part of fin (Ref. 13442).
Found over soft bottoms generally with vegetation such as Thalassia testudinum. Prefers turbid water (Ref. 9710). Feeds on marine invertebrates (Ref. 36453). Locally consumed but its visceral organs may be toxic.
