Comments: Are residents in intertidal areas with homing behavior (Ref. 32612). They are found between pebbles or at margins of steep, filamentous algae-covered rocks exposed to sunlight.  They make underwater 'flight' over long distances.  Feed almost exclusively on algae (Ref. 205), favoring the algae <i>Ulva</i> (Ref. 94105).  Spawns from May to July.  Oviparous.  Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114).  Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
