Large females get to around 4-5 inches; males are much smaller. They are generally rare, but occasionally in muck areas they are locally common. They can almost always be seen on dive trips to Lembeh and we have seen them as far south in Australia as southern Queensland.

"They can almost always be seen on dive trips to Lembeh"
Used to be the case- but during my last two trips down there, I only saw one and the long-time guides talked about how they're becomming increasingly rare. My experiences not seeing many could have been because of seasonal chances in abundance, but the guides are more likely to notice year-to-year changes that might result from over-collection or trawling disturbance. They certainly aren't a sure-thing on a dive, or even a whole trip of three dives/day for five days straight.
