Ökologie
seewasser riff-verbunden; standorttreu (Ref. 52884); tiefenbereich 0 - 31 m (Ref. 37816). Tropical; 35°N - 25°S
Indo-West Pacific: East Africa to Samoa, north to Ryukyu Islands, south to the Great Barrier Reef. Record from the Mascarenes (Ref. 9408) is apparently erroneous (Ref. 33390).
Größe / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 2334)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 22 - 30; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 4.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like; Cross section: angular.
Adults inhabit coral reefs (Ref. 9710). Also found in lagoons and seaward reefs (Ref. 90102). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Males may be brooding at 5.0-5.5 cm SL (Ref. 5316). Monogamous and always in home-ranging pairs, that is they do not defend an exclusive territory (Ref. 52884).

Monogamous mating is observed as both obligate and genetic (Ref. 52884). Male carries the eggs in a brood pouch (Ref. 205).
