Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in lagoons to 15 m deep (Ref. 90102). Common around coral reefs. Adults manifest both sexual and geographic variation. 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).
