Biology
provided by Fishbase
Adults occur in rocky areas along quiet shores, usually in less than 3 m depth. They feed on polychaete worms, crustaceans and filamentous algae (Ref. 5521). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
