Comments: Usually on sandy substrates, where juveniles and subadults (up to 1.20 cm TL) are very common in shallow water of sandy beaches.  Reported (Ref. 69752) to feed on benthic invertebrates, mainly on polychaetes and, to a lesser extent, on crustaceans.  Known spawning season is from April to September.  A commercial species in Israel caught by trawl and trammel net (Ref. 94953).
