Épines anales: 1; Rayons mous anaux: 7 - 10. This species is distinguished from all its congeners by the following set of characters: head
plump, more or less rounded, dorsoventrally compressed; head broad, with the anterior
outline of the head forming a smooth convex curve when viewed dorsally; most males with
one, rarely two, dorsal-fin spines filamentous first spine reaching to between last first dorsal-
fin spine base to fifth second dorsal-fin ray base, occasionally to ninth second dorsal-fin
ray base; pectoral rays usually 20-21; D2 usually I,10; A usually I,9; basicaudal scales absent; body with broad dark brown bands, with smooth vertical margins (Ref. 87125).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Observed cleaning other fishes and commonly occurs with Elacatinus digueti (Ref. 87125). From the subtidal to depths of at least 35 m and commonly found below 15 m (Ref. 87125).
