Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found on small recesses in rocky reefs and especially along walls. They blend almost perfectly with the background and appear like encrusting sponges (Ref. 5227).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.9 - 28.6, mean 26.4 °C (based on 52 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Fec assumed to be > 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 86.3 [37.0, 167.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.698 [0.343, 1.352] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [16.0, 21.8] %; Omega3 = 0.131 [0.045, 0.337] g/100g; Selenium = 18.4 [7.0, 49.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 353 [77, 1,533] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.34 [0.78, 2.26] mg/100g (wet weight);
