This species prefers habitats which provide crevices or holes to hide in such as areas of rubble or rock and coral reefs. It can reach a length of 7.5 centimetres (3.0 in) TL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.[2] The specific name honours the painter Emilia Kalisher (1868-1959), at the request of her future husband Joseph Cheesman Thompson (1874-1943).[3]
