Pectoral rays 19-21; uppermost five rays more or less free from membrane, first to fourth branching only once; pelvic disc elliptical, reaching at least four-fifths to part of fin pale; second dorsal fin with dark and pale bands; anal fin dusky, with with dark line proximal to white distal edge; caudal fin with dark markings more or less defined (Ref. 87607).
Collected from intertidal rock-pools, where this species is said to dominate the shallow tidepool habitat (Ref. 87607).

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=0.00631 (0.00286 - 0.01390), b=3.08 (2.90 - 3.26), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (23 of 100) .
