Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.5 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 7251)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 12; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 18; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 19 - 20. No median row of cirri; supraorbital cirri branched (Ref. 26938). With numerous small brown spots; small black spot at front of dorsal fin; edge of anal fin pale (Ref. 13442).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Adults inhabit eroded basins and limestone boulders covered by an algal mat, sea fans, etc. (Ref. 5521). Sometimes around mangrove roots, young are sometimes found in floating Sargassum (Ref. 26938). Omnivorous, but feed mostly on algae (Ref. 13442). 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).
