Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm Max length : 6.4 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 11482 ) Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Adults inhabit rocky shores and steep slopes. They feed on tiny invertebrates and algae (Ref. 11482 ). Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240 ). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114 ). Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.
