Comments: Adults occur in tidal pools and the subtidal zone, usually on encrusted walls and other overhangs.  They remove parasites from large fishes such as moray eels (Ref. 13227).  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).
