Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 14-15; Espinas anales 2; Radios blandos anales: 15 - 17; Vértebra: 34. Olivaceous with 7 short dark brown double bars on side of body and rows of small pale blue spots (Ref. 13442).

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Adults occur in intertidal areas (Ref. 31184), like tide pools, rocky slopes, and places where there are boulders on the bottom (Ref. 5521). Actively shuttle back and forth between rock-pools and air (Ref. 31184). They breathe air (Ref. 31184) and can remain out of water for up to 2 hours if kept moist (Ref. 51276). Feed mainly on algae (Ref. 13442). 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).
