Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 12 - 14; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 14 - 16; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 18. Small dark spots on body; upper lip uniformly dusky or with scattered spots; pale area behind eye followed by an irregular dark mark (Ref. 4404).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Adults occur in the intertidal zone of lagoons and wave-swept seaward reefs (Ref. 9710). They inhabit holes of limestone matrix at low tide (Ref. 90102). At low tide they may be found in small pockets of water left in pitted limestone. 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).
