Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 20 - 23; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 14 - 16; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 24 - 27. Males uniform grey to black with red fins and a bluish white margin to the anal fin during the breeding season. Females mottled greenish grey with an indistinct broken dark band along the base of the dorsal fins. Distinguished from other triplefins by the flattened pointed head and snout, the short, square caudal peduncle, and by having three spines in the first dorsal fin and 14-16 spines in the second.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Adults are commonly found in sheltered areas shallower than 5 m. Typical in shallow habitats in coastal mainland areas and seldom on offshore islands. Mainly found under rocks. They feed on a range of benthic invertebrates including ophiuroids, archaeogastropods, trichoptera and errant polychaetes (Ref. 84084). 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). They are caught by slurp guns and handnets (Ref. 84086).
