Descrição breve
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 12; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 19 - 20; Espinhos anais: 2; Raios anais moles: 15 - 16.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Adults are found in very shallow water in the surge zone of exposed rocky shores (Ref. 3921). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Feed mainly on benthic algae and occasionally on small invertebrates (Ref. 3921). 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).
