The head bears three pairs of longitudinal orange and white bands, and the eye shows alternating orange and white striping. The first and second dorsal fins (including membranes) are densely covered with orange spots, with their distal tips appearing white. The anal fin is semi-translucent white. The pectoral-fin base bears orange spots, with the remaining part semi-translucent white; the pelvic fin fades from white basally to semi-translucent distally. The caudal fin exhibits irregular semi-translucent orange-red and white coloration on both rays and membranes.</p><p>Habitat.

NTOUP-2025-0604-13, 28.9 mm SL, southeast side of <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=114.37001&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=10.376714" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 114.37001/lat 10.376714)">Taiping Island</a>, Cijin District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan (10°22’36.17”N, 114°22’12.02”E), 0–0.5 m depth, 4 June 2025, clove oil combined with hand net, coll. by Yan-Cheng Yang &amp; Wei-Hong Xu .</p><p>Description. Dorsal-fin rays XII, 20; anal-fin rays II, 20; pectoral-fin rays 14; pelvic-fin rays I, 4; segment caudal-fin rays 6 + 5 (no branched); vertebrae 13+22; no nuchal cirri; supraorbital cirri 3 (both side); nasal cirri 1 (both side); lateral line tubes 12 (both side).</p><p>Morphometric data are presented in Table 1. The body is slightly elongate, moderately compressed posteriorly, and deepest at the base of the pectoral fin. The dorsal profile from the anterior margin of the eye to the snout is gently rounded and nearly vertical in this region, then gradually slopes downward toward the caudal peduncle, with a slight posterior arch near the caudal peduncle. The ventral profile is slightly convex from the tip of the lower jaw to the origin of the pelvic fin, and thereafter remains nearly straight and parallel to the body axis toward the anus, slightly rising along the anal-fin base to the caudal peduncle. The anus is located slightly anterior to mid-body.</p><p>The head is bluntly rounded and widest across the mid-cheek region. The eye is moderately sized and positioned anterodorsally. The nuchal cirri are arranged in two separated clusters at the midpoint of the nape. A complex cephalic sensory pore system is present.</p><p>The posterior dorsal-fin rays are separated from the fin base, and the posteriormost fin membrane does not attach to the caudal peduncle. The anal-fin base extends from a point directly below the 12th dorsal-fin spine to a point below the posterior end of the dorsal-fin base, and the posteriormost anal-fin ray is split from its base. The caudal fin is arcuate. The pectoral-fin origin is located below a vertical line between the second and third dorsal-fin spines, and the ventralmost pectoral-fin base is positioned below the third dorsal-fin spine; the longest ray reaches to the level below the second dorsal-fin spine, and the posterior margin is rounded. The pelvic-fin origin is positioned anterior to the vertical level of the nuchal cirri, and the fin reaches to a level below the base of the fifth dorsal-fin spine.</p><p>The general body coloration consists of white and dark-brown spots of various sizes, with larger spots near the head and smaller ones toward the caudal peduncle. The head is covered with similarly variable white and dark-brown spots, and the anterior tip of the upper jaw is white. The iris displays alternating rings of reddish brown and white. The first and second dorsal fins (including membranes) possess dense white and dark-brown spots of various sizes. The anal fin (including membrane) is brown at the base and grayish-white distally. The pectoral-fin base has white and dark-brown spots, whereas the remainder of the fin rays and membrane are semi-transparent white. The pelvic fin is black and white. The caudal-fin rays are semi-transparent white, and the fin membrane is transparent.</p><p>Habitat. The specimen was collected from a sandy seagrass bed at a depth of approximately 0.1–0.3 m.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A7C401FFA6FFAFFF13190FFA83CF11	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
