Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Known only from the coast, on rocky bottoms (Ref. 10696). 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).
Life cycle and mating behavior
