Max length : 18.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 4645); common length : 12.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3397); Età massima riportata: 6 anni (Ref. 4792)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 18 - 20; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 5 - 7; Spine anali: 4 - 6; Raggi anali molli: 6 - 8. Snout with 5-10 pores. Upper lip with 5-7 folds. Rows of scales on cheek 3-5, on inter-operculum 2 (7-11) scales, on temporo-occipital surface 5-8. Vertebrae 32-34. Preoperculum edge serrated. One row of scales on base of soft part of dorsal and anal fins (Ref. 232). No black spots on the body or fins (Ref. 35388).
Adults are found in eel-grass beds near rocks. Feed on small invertebrates (Ref. 4742). Eggs are laid in the summer in a seaweed nest (Ref. 35388). Males grow faster than females (Ref. 4792). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Used in salmon culture as cleaner fish (Helmut Tethmeyer, pers. comm.).
