Comments: Adults inhabit rock and coral reefs (Ref. 90102).  They are found in very shallow water on coralline ground (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).
