					It has lengths of 40 cm, maximum total body length; 20 to 25 cm, common length.  Occurs at a depth range from 3 to 90 m, but usually less than 40 m (Ref. 4). Subtidal (Ref. 106854).  It is found on muddy substrates and sometimes on rocky bottoms near river mouths in turbid water (Ref. 4).  Lives mainly at river-influenced shelf in shallow, turbid water with moderate run-off (Ref. 105109).  In general, palinurids are mainly considered carnivores, usually feeding upon sluggish, easily captured animals where most material is eaten alive or freshly killed (Ref. 105260).  Individuals reared in captivity fed on a natural diet of gastropods, clams, crabs, squids and fish (Ref. 105110).
