Dorsal rays usually XIII, fin slightly notched between spinous and soft portions; 3 mandibular pores on each side; gill opening extending ventrally from slightly above pectoral-fin base to opposite 6th pectoral ray; head crest and cirri absent; last dorsal and anal rays attached by membrane to caudal fin; body depth about 5.8 in SL. Maximum size to 7.8 cm TL (Ref. 90102).

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit shallow reefs, in crevices just below level of low tide (Ref. 36661). Found in tidepools and rocky shores, solitary or in small groups (Ref. 90102). 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).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 29.2, mean 28.6 °C (based on 1444 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00258 - 0.01228), b=3.06 (2.87 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  2.6   ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
