	<dc:description>Occurs in the continental shelf and inshore waters (Ref. 7300).  Occurs in coarse to fine sand habitats in depths of 5-40 m (most commonly 5-10 m).  Often found in shallow, shell-filled depressions or near rocks of low relief projecting from the substrate (Ref. 30684).  Length only preliminary, replace with better value (RF).  Egg masses contain about 80-250 eggs, about 1.8-2 mm in diameter; egg capsules about 3-4 mm diameter.  Newly hatched juveniles are about 6-7 mm SL, attaining at least 9.0 cm SL (about 13.0 cm TL), with adults commonly about 6.0-7.5 cm SL (Ref. 72490).</dc:description>
