Description
Dorsal spines (total): 12-13 (usually: 12); Dorsal soft rays (total): 8-10; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 5; Pectoral fin rays: 14-17 (usually: 14-15), middle rays sometimes elongate and membranes relatively deeply incised. Gill rakers: 4-5 + 1 + 6-10 = 11-15. Lateral line scales: 18-24; Lateral scale series: 35-44; Vertical scale rows about: 42-44; Lachrymal spines: 2. Maxilla reaches beyond rear margin of orbit. Supraocular cirrus often long. Interorbital ridges do not end in spines, but make partial loop on occiput joined via curved transverse occipital lateral line commissure; Second suborbital with blunt or pungent spine on lower ridge below eye; Third suborbital with blunt spine at rear, and sometimes a spine on ridge anteriorly; Supplemental preopercular spine present; Ridges associated with opercular spines well-developed, with ridge anterior to lower opercular spine; Tympanic spines relatively far apart, lateral and slightly anterior to origins of parietal spines; No coronal spines; Parietal spines well-developed, bordering occipital area laterally and originating close to transverse occipital commissure; Nuchal spines ~½ length of parietal spines. Max. length: 9.5 cm TL. Depth range: 0 - 37 m, usually: 0 - 3 m.
Color
Body color cryptic; Chin and isthmus with dark brown transverse bars; Dark transverse stripe immediately behind parietal spines; Dark saddle below first 3 dorsal fin spines, and sometimes elongate dark blotch between spines 7-10; Softrayed dorsal fin relatively evenly speckled, sometimes dusky distally.
Etymology
Sebastapistes: from ancient Greek, sébastos = august, venerable + from Greek, apistia, -as = distrust, mistrust.
strongia: name given in reference of the type locality, Strong island or Oualan island, East Caroline islands. In Histoire naturelle des poissons - Tome 4 - 1829 - P 323: “Messrs Lesson and Garnot caught a small rockfish on Oualan or Strong Island, east of the Garolines...”.
Original description: Scorpaena strongia Cuvier, 1829 - Type locality: Kosrae, formerly Kusaie, is an island in Micronesia, one of the four Federated States of Micronesia. The island was formerly known as Oualan, and also as Strong Island. Located between the state of Pohnpei and the Marshall Islands, Kosrae is the easternmost island of the Caroline Islands.
Distribution
Red Sea and Indo-West Pacific: Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), East Africa, Seychelles, Aldabra (Seychelles), Madagascar and western Mascarenes (La Réunion, Mauritius), east to Mariana Islands, Gilbert Islands (Kiribati), Marquesas Islands and Gambier Islands (French Polynesia), north to southern Japan, south to northern Australia and New Caledonia.
Biology
Common in areas with mixed sand and rubble in reef flats, shallow lagoons and channels. Feeds on small fishes and crustaceans. A nocturnal species. Solitary and cryptic.
