soft rays: 7. Most of lateral portion of head and body red while whitish ventrally; relatively large red spots scattered on head and body. Predorsal scales, 8. Head without scales except predorsal to posterior margin of interorbital; characterized further by lacking elongate dorsal spines; all pectoral rays unbranched; branched fifth pelvic ray; longitudinal scale series 24-25; depth of body 4.2-4.3 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Estimates of some properties based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00412 - 0.01928), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilience (Ref.
69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
