The species was collected at depths of 90–130 m in mesophotic coral ecosystems.[3][4] Its body depth is 1.9–2.0 in standard length, and the largest specimen measured about 5.7 cm.[1][5] In preserved specimens the body is brown, with the upper body darker than the lower body.[5] Pale yellow coloration characterizes the tail and caudal fins, while the soft portions of the dorsal and anal fins exhibit yellow rays.[5]
A light brown hue is present on the lower section of the head.[5] The base of the pectoral fin bears dark spots.[5] No photographs of living or freshly caught specimens exist.[5]
