Yellowish-brown spots on body and dorsal fins. Distinct sense-papillae between the eyes (Ref. 35388). nape scaled and lateral line system with antero-dorsal longitudinal neuromast rows g long and h reduced to a few papillae (Ref. 86376)
Cryptobenthic, burrowing in muddy sand or mud; often associated with a decapod crustacean Nephrops norvegicus (Ref. 5299). Feed on polychaetes, small crustaceans and mollusks (Ref. 4696). Eggs are deposited in burrows (Ref. 35388).

Estimates of some properties based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00631 (0.00367 - 0.01084), b=3.04 (2.89 - 3.19), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.3 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=2; tmax=11).
Prior r = 0.96, 2 SD range = 0.74 - 1.25, log(r) = -0.04, SD log(r) = 0.13, Based on: 1 K, 1 tgen, 1 tmax, records
Vulnerability (Ref.
