Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 15; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 16. Tubed lateral line scales 18; pale grey without conspicuous markings, except for membranous tips of dorsal spines black and juvenile with black ocellus at base of soft dorsal fin (Ref. 31101). Caudal fin emarginate (Ref. 31101).
Adults are observed around rock outcrops with flat silt-sand bottom (Ref. 31101). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Diurnal species (Ref. 52881).
