Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Maximum thickness: 2 cm (Ref. 415). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 128739. It is common on mangrove roots; peat banks; and on shallow reefs habitats (Ref. 415). Inhabits coralline algae reefs, algal nodules, shallow coral reefs and mangroves (Ref. 128739).

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