Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit rock and coral reefs (Ref. 90102), from the surface to 15 m, including intertidal pools (Ref. 13227). Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114).

IUCN Red List Status (Ref. 115185)
