marin récifal; profondeur 18 - 60 m (Ref. 5227). Tropical; 24°N - 2°S
Eastern Pacific: Mexico to Peru (Ref. 35581) and the Galapagos Islands.

Inhabits deep, rocky, boulder strewn areas and walls. Lurks in holes, crevices and dark recesses. Constantly opens and closes its mouth, an action required for respiration, not a threat (Ref. 5227).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 20.2 - 26.6, mean 25.7 °C (based on 17 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00050 (0.00025 - 0.00101), b=3.26 (3.10 - 3.42), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 4.0 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref.
120179): Très faible, temps minimum de doublement de population supérieur à 14 ans (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 24.3 [13.0, 41.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.406 [0.241, 0.895] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [16.5, 21.3] %; Omega3 = 0.1 [0.0, 0.3] g/100g; Selenium = 50.3 [27.4, 97.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 52.8 [15.5, 168.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.865 [0.612, 1.197] mg/100g (wet weight);
