Biologie     Glossaire (ex. epibenthic)

Adults occur in coastal and inner reef habitats to about 20 m depth (Ref. 48636). Juveniles usually found solitary and adults occasionally in pairs (Ref. 48636, 90102). 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). Sexual dimorphism present. and young Scolopsis biliniatus are mimics (Ref. 90102). Minimum depth reported from Ref. 90102.
