Comments: Common on rocks and in rock pools to a depth of about 0.5 m, only found near the surface in deep rock-pools.  They appear to favor areas subjected to surf.  Feed mainly on algae (Ref. 5288).  Oviparous.  Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114).  Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
