Variable green to brown or grey, depending on habitat (Ref. 48635 ). Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Occur in protected coastal shallows over or among algae, seagrasses (Ref. 41878 ), or floating weeds (Ref. 1602 ). Juveniles occasionally found near the surface (Ref. 4281 ). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205 ). The males carry the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205 ).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00037 (0.00016 - 0.00085), b=3.18 (2.99 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ).
