Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults are usually found on the outer reef front of surge channels and pools, exposed to heavy surf. 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).

IUCN Red List Status (Ref. 115185)
