Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 3; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12; Raggi anali molli: 6 - 7. Usually features one or two ocelli on the soft dorsal fin. Length to 14 cm (Ref. 48635).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Unusual among antennariids in often occupying brackish or even totally freshwater habitats. Most specimens were taken at 10 m depth or less. Oviparous. Eggs are bound in ribbon-like sheath or mass of gelatinous mucus called 'egg raft' or 'veil' (Ref. 6773).
