Short description Morfologia

One of the most brightly colored stomatopods; with deep blue uropods; those and other appendages lined with bright red setae (Ref 92).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Intertidal to subtidal (Ref. 106854). Lives in existing burrows in shallow and rough bottom habitats, often on or near coral reefs (Ref. 92), and on reef flats at a depth of 36 m (Ref. 80410). Feeds on scyllarids; active during the day; uses its buttressed raptorial claws to smash hard-bodied prey. Largest 'smasher' (Ref. 92).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturità | Riproduzione | Deposizione | Uova | Fecundity | Larve

Some members of the order Stomatopoda pair for life and some come together only to mate. Males produce sperm ducts rather than spermatophores; females can brood a maximum of 50,000 eggs. Life cycle: Eggs hatch to a planktonic zoea which lasts for 3 months.
