Comments: Adults inhabit coral and rocky bottoms at depths of 6 m and shallower (Ref. 90102).  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).
