Eastern Atlantic: known only from Ascension and St. Helena.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 5288)
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Common on rocks and in rock pools to a depth of about 0.5 m, only found near the surface in deep rock-pools. They appear to favor areas subjected to surf. Feed mainly on algae (Ref. 5288). 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).
