Upper lip crenulae 37-51. Gill rakers 23-29. Cephalic pore system complex; midsnout pores present. Cirri, supraorbital 4-14, nasal 4-19; nuchal 27-38, in 4 groups, bases of ventralmost groups slightly expanded. Adults with brown body; red spots or narrow lines on snout and around the eye; iris silvery (Ref. 529). Anterior nare is tubular and provided with an apical lid that prevents the penetration of sand particles (Ref. 94108).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Adults inhabit exposed seaward reefs where it usually shelters at bases or among the branches of Pocilloporid corals (Ref. 1602). Feeds on benhic algae (Ref. 89972). Benthic (Ref. 58302). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Oviparous, distinct pairing (Ref. 205). Urogenital orifice of male genital papilla located basally between 2 widely separated slender filaments on a fleshy swelling behind anus; testes bulbous with length equal its width (Ref. 529).
