Size / Vikt / Age
Könsmognad: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 22.0 cm SL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 128312); common length : 14.0 cm SL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 3810)
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 10; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 9; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 3; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 7. Suborbital spine absent. Preopercle with 3 transverse scale rows. Pectoral and pelvic fins not reaching to level of origin of anal fin. Upper lobe of caudal fin produced into a long trailing filament. First dorsal spine short. A line drawn upwards from posterior edge of the suborbital reaching the dorsal profile at or behind origin of dorsal fin. Axillary scale present. Color: upper part of body red, shading through rose-pink on the sides to pearly-white on the ventral surface. Can be distinguished from N. bathybius by having a more slender body, wider interorbital and shorter pectoral fins.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Inhabits sandy or muddy bottoms. Feeds on small crustaceans.
