जीवविज्ञान     शब्द संग्रह (उदाहरणार्थ epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Found among branches of Stylophora mordax and certain Acropora corals (Ref. 9710). It never ventures outside the confines of the coral head where it swims between the branches foraging for other coral-dwelling types (Ref. 275). Anterolateral glandular groove with venom gland; at least in dorsal-fin spines (Ref. 57406).
