Description The balao halfbeak is similar in appearance to its relative the ballyhoo (H. brasiliensis). The main difference between the two is that the distance from the nares to the base of the pectoral fin is greater than the length of the ballyhoo's pectoral fin, while that difference is less than the length of the balao halfbeak's pectoral fin. They have no spines on their fins, but do have 11–15 rays on their dorsal fins and 10–13 rays on their anal fins. Balao halfbeaks have blue-gray skin on their backs, while their undersides are silver or white. The longest recorded balao halfbeak was 40 cm long.

In the eastern Atlantic, they are known from the Canary Islands and the Gulf of Guinea...
