Description Colour in life: disc colour bluish with dark blue spots, spotted radial shields, ventrally lighter blue with dark spots (Sloan et al., 1979. Arms banded in grey and pale blue. Description: Arm length to 80 cm (about 20 times disc diameter), disc diameter 1-4 cm. Disc scales covered by thorny stumps. Radial shields with rugose granule-like stumps. Aboral arm plates more than twice as broad as long, distal edge with a straight median region, marked laterodistal angles, broadest distally. Oral arm plates octogonal, distal edge straight. Up to ten thorny arm spines, lowest one comb-like.
Habitat: lower eulittoral, sublittoral, under coral boulders or in burrow or a crevice.
Also distributed in Maldive area, Ceylon, Bay of Bengal , East Indies, north Australia, Philippine, China, south Japan and South Pacific Is. (Clark & Rowe, 1971); Lakshadweep (India) in Sastry (1991); Australia (Rowe & Gates, 1995).
General distribution: Indo-Pacific (Richmond, 1998), depth range 0-72 m.; east coast of Africa to western Pacific Ocean (Sastry, 1991); tropical, Indo-west-central Pacific Ocean, depth range 0-72 m. (Rowe & Gates, 1995).
Ecology: benthic, inshore (Rowe & Gates, 1995). [details]
