This species grows to a length of 16 centimetres (6.3 in) SL. It and the brownsnout spookfish are the only vertebrates known to employ mirrors, in addition to lenses, to focus the images in its eyes.[citation needed] This fish, apart from its fluid filled dome and its mirrors, has four eyes that can see in 360°.[citation needed]
