The break can occur near the tip of the tail so that only a part of the caudal fin is lost, or it may involve ...

It lives in areas in the Indo-Pacific, and its habitat is areas in coastal marine waters, at depths of up to 150 meters, [1] in sandy bottoms, coastal reefs, [2] estuaries and mangroves. This fish is listed as least concern, due to it overlapping many marine protected areas. [1] It has a maximum length of 45 centimeters.
