Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Adults are found in sheltered coastal, lagoon, and outer reefs in 1-10 m; solitary or in pairs (Ref. 90102). Collected from a depth of 10 m (Ref. 7401). 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).
