Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 6 - 7; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 7 - 8; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 1; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 7 - 9. Characterized by semi-transparent, with pale pink or reddish orange hue; covered with pepper-like pigmentation; snout with brown to reddish stripe on side; longitudinal scale series 22-26; head, nape, belly midline and breast without scales; opening of gill reaching to at least below edge of preopercle; depth of body at anus 5.3-7.1 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Inhabits solid sponges at moderate depths, usually in 10 meters or more, but probably depending on the occurrence of certain sponges (Ref. 48637). Collected from reef flats and lagoon and reef channels (Ref. 37816).
