This spot is preceded by a shallow groove which extends along the dorsal margin of the operculum. No predorsal scales, posterior half of the nape with a slightly developed longitudinal ridge in the midline, scales present on either side of the ridge with a narrow scaleless gap between them; slight interorbital trench which extends posteriorly barely beyond mid pupil, no postorbital trench; fifth pelvic fin ray unbranched and 50-70% of the length of the fourth (Ref. 52310).
Solitary or in small groups in caves and ledges. Also found in steep seaward slopes in 10-40 m (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) .
