Écologie
marin; saumâtre récifal; profondeur 0 - 5 m (Ref. 9710), usually 0 - 1 m (Ref. 9710). Tropical; 32°N - 32°S
Indo-Pacific: Red Sea and East Africa to the Line, Marquesan, and Tuamoto islands, north to southern Japan, south to Lord Howe and Rapa.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 16.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 48636); 13.2 cm SL (female)
Épines dorsales (Total): 12 - 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 19-21; Épines anales 2; Rayons mous anaux: 21 - 23. Males darkly dusky with 5-6 pairs of bands on body and pale stripes on dorsal fin; develop a crest. Females paler in color, bands broken into spots posteriorly, dorsal fin spotted (Ref. 4404).
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Intertidal (Ref. 31184, 48636). Adults are common in areas with large rubble pieces which are often used to built breakwaters or to support jetty-pylons (Ref. 48636). They hide in cracks or holes when not feeding. They jump out of the water in energetic skippings to another pool when pursued (Ref. 2158, 48636). May remain out of water under rocks or seaweeds (Ref. 31184). They breathe air when out of water (Ref. 31184). Feeds on filamentous algae (Ref. 89972). 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).
