Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 4.0 cm DL male/unsexed; (Ref. 1778)
Intertidal in oyster beds. Occurs in densities as great as 2100 square meter. Parthenogenic species whose development includes a short-lived non-feeding pelagic larval stage (Ref. 776). Subtidal in coral reef and rock reef (Ref. 1456); commonly found in soft coral, old coral, mussell beds (Ref. 1840) or on rocky bottom (Ref. 776).
