Max length : 27.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 124816); common length : 15.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 3810); peso máximo publicado: 330.00 g (Ref. 124816); edad máxima reportada: 3.00 años (Ref. 96857)
Espinas dorsales (total): 10; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 9; Espinas anales 3; Radios blandos anales: 7. Suborbital spine absent. Preopercle with 3 transverse scale rows. Pectoral and pelvic fins very long, reaching to or just beyond level of origin of anal fin. A line drawn up from posterior edge of suborbital reaching the dorsal profile at about 3 to 7 scale rows before origin of dorsal fin. Upper lobe of caudal fin produced into a long trailing light red filament. Axillary scale present. Color: Body silvery pink. Peritoneum salmon-pink.
Benthic on sand or mud bottoms (Ref. 30573). No major fishery exists, but a large population is believed to occur in the Persian Gulf. Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 127989.
