Common mantle length ranges between 2 to 3 cm (Ref. 3722). Total length is 35 cm (Ref. 96968). Minimum depth from Ref. 83938. This is a subtidal species found in coral reefs, rubble and sandy bottoms (Ref. 83938). Associated with calcareous algae and shell rubble (Ref. 275).

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

Members of the class Cephalopoda are gonochoric. Male and female adults usually die shortly after spawning and brooding, respectively. Mating behavior: Males perform various displays to attract potential females for copulation. During copulation, male grasp the female and inserts the hectocotylus into the female's mantle cavity where fertilization usually occurs. Life cycle: Embryos hatch into planktonic stage and live for some time before they grow larger and take up a benthic existence as adults.
