This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: absence of spiny tubercles or
fleshy papillae on body; anterior three mandibular pores each with a barbel-like tube; interorbital and suborbital pores are usually absent; opercular flap rounded; ventral disk with many papillae; caudal-fin is relatively short, 21.0-30.5% of SL (Ref. 115553).
Feeds on crabs (Ref. 9137).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
115969): 18.7 - 22.4, mean 20.6 °C (based on 97 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03090 (0.01192 - 0.08009), b=3.00 (2.78 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.50 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
