Biology ( anglais )

fourni par Fishbase
Adults occur in tide pools; in shallow water on beach rock, brown algae and coralline algae. Apparently associated with coralline rocky shore or reef flat (Ref. 27223). Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114).
