Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

West Central Atlantic; Southwest Atlantic: Western Atlantic; Bermuda and Florida to E. Brazil, including Yucatan and the Caribbean Sea. 31 cm, maximum total body length; 20 cm, common length. Occurs in coastal waters down to 50 m with rock or coral substrate (Ref. 4). Minimum depth range from Ref. 122059. Inhabits coastal waters with rock or coral substrates (Ref. 4). On rubble (Ref. 97531). Requires calcareous substrate with algae and gravel (Ref. 81730). Scarce and generally found in reef habitats (Ref. 104228). Coexists with Panulirus argus (Ref. 102863) but little competition is likely to occur between the two (Ref. 104228). In general, palinurids are mainly considered carnivores, usually feeding upon sluggish, easily captured animals where most material is eaten alive or freshly killed (Ref. 105260).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the order Decapoda are mostly gonochoric. Mating behavior: Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer.
