Description
This species inhabits reef patches, areas of sandy substrates with available rocks and beds of seagrass at depths of from 1 to 5 metres (3.3 to 16.4 ft). It can reach a length of 7.6 centimetres (3.0 in) TL. The person honoured in the patronym of this species was not identified by Steindachner but it is most probably the American ichthyologist Theodore Nicholas Gill (1837-1914), the authority for the generic name Malacoctenus.
