|behaviour=:A timid fish that will dart into a hiding place if startled or scared. It is not a fast swimmer and will spend most of its time hovering around caves. It has a long dorsal fin it will flick up and down, possibly to steady itself in the water column or display to others of its own kind, of which it will be territorial towards.
 
+
|identification=:A distinctive elongated fish not to be mistaken for ''[[Nemateleotris magnifica]]''. It has a long body with rounded snout, it has long dorsal and anal fins that extend from half way down the body to the rounded caudal fin. It also has an extended ray at the beginning of the dorsal which is usually kept flat to the body, only flicked up every now and again. It has a pale body which darkens to a blue-purple towards the caudal fin. The fins are dark blue-purple with iridescent purple edging. A purple band extends from the dorsal, over the top of the head and down to the chin.
