Comments: This crypto-benthic (caves and crevices) species is commonly found from the surface to depths of at least 55 m around rock (Ref. 58184).  Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240).  Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114).
