The species could be found in such countries as Fiji and Sri Lanka.[3] It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. They grow to a size of 6.6 centimetres (2.6 in) in length. They have varied body colour and could be either dark brown, or pale yellow. They also have blue vertical lines that go around their eyes and gills. The species feed on mysid shrimp and brine shrimp, when kept in aquarium.[3]
