It is a species larger than normal Sembilang. Front teeth rougher. Public opinion on major Sembilang called gemang. Gemang actually just belongs to the family Sembilang. To me, you can make a comparison between Sembilang and gemang terms of the features I mentioned earlier to get greater certainty. From small, both species have a different 'look' but has more or less the same characteristics.

Sembilang reefs (Plotosus lineatus) is smaller than normal and gemang Sembilang. It is dark-skinned, have a clear path through the body and skin more beautiful and interesting than his brothers.

I personally feel the pulse was twice that usually makes the sting swollen for 4 days. Sick ... lazy long story and you do not try it, the case 'Naya' existence. Moreover stings hidden behind a row of dorsal soft as if they do not have hard sharp thorns.

It has 4 upper lip mustache in his mouth hard while four other under the scalloped lips soft but sharp. Moustache (maxillary barbel) at the very edge of the fin and nearly left and right sting in which all four pairs.
