Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 17.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 5463)
Dorsale stekels (totaal): 5; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal): 17-22; Anale stekels 0; Anale zachte stralen: 17 - 22; Wervels: 32 - 33. Color variable (from brown to pink or yellow) with small black and white spots; 2 elongate black spots between first 3 dorsal spines (Ref. 4263). Total body plates 27-35. Caudal fin truncate, rounded, or lanceolate. Caudal peduncle short or lost in large females (Ref. 48635). Pelvic fin sexually dimorphic, forming a brood pouch in females (Ref. 9829).
This uncommon species is found in coastal reefs and weedy areas (Ref. 5463) or lagoon reefs, often on algal flats or seagrass beds (Ref 90102). Monogamous, always in pairs (Ref. 52884). Females carry the eggs in their pelvic fins that are modified to form a brood pouch (Ref. 205). Feed on small crustaceans (Ref. 1602).
