Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 15 - 16; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9 - 10; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 9 - 10; Vértebra: 29 - 31.
Found in rocky substrates. Restricted to places with large, very steeply sloping boulders, where it inhabits the immediately inshore slope between 0.5 and at least 5 m water depth and lives in crevices between boulders, including rock pools within emerged rocky reefs. Stomach content analyses of males showed a seasonally variable diet of insect larvae, filamentous Cyanophyta, Bryozoa, prawns, detritus and juvenile fish (Ref. 27668).
