Comments: Adults are found in shallow waters, surge channels and tidal pools around fringing reefs where wave action is high; some found in the big surf, oxygen-rich habitat (Ref. 27223).  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).
