Environment: milieu / climate zone / distribuzione batimetrica / distribution range
Ecologia
marino benthopelagico; distribuzione batimetrica 1 - 53 m (Ref. 27665), usually 1 - 20 m (Ref. 126002). Tropical
Eastern Central Pacific: Hawaii and Tuamoto Islands.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 126002)
Found in moderately deep water, sometimes deeper that normal SCUBA-diving depths, hence its occasional capture (Ref. 27665).
