Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 11 - 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 23 - 27; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 25 - 28.
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Adults occur among seagrass, sometimes on rocky bottoms. Eggs produced by several females are guarded by male. Individuals are first females then change to males (Ref. 5981). 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).
