Bristletail filefish — size comparison — facts and sources

The bristletail filefish has a mottled green-brown body, projecting snout and strong first dorsal spine. Small skin projections roughen its outline and changing colours provide camouflage.

Usually solitary on shallow reefs, rubble or seagrass, it eats amphipods, polychaetes and molluscs. Irregular patterns conceal motionless fish against plants and bottom features.

Długość standardowa (SL): od końca pyska do nasady płetwy ogonowej. Przykład, nie średnia populacji. Widok przedni ma przybliżone proporcje.
