Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 16.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 90102)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt): 3 - 5; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt): 29-34; Afterflossenstacheln 1-2; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 19 - 20; Wirbelzahl: 24. Preopercular serrae 30-58. H. cuniculus is variable in coloration, ranging from pale olive brown to yellowish or light greenish or a mixture with some geographic variation (Ref. 37816). Greatest depth of body 5.1-6.3 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Inhabits muddy to rubble or rubble-sand areas of outer reef slopes. Observed a meter above the substrate and retreats to a burrow when threatened. Stomach contents consist of calanoid copepods (58% by volume), larvaceans (20%), siphonophores (20%), and fish eggs (2%) (Ref. 8991). Sometimes in loose groups (Ref. 48635).
