Comments: Adults are found on rocky or rubble bottom.  Stomach and gut contents reveal pycnogonid, ostracods, copepods, and isopods (Ref. 12476).  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).
