Etymology: Ophioblennius: Greek, ophis = serpent + Greek, blennios = mucus (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Charles Freeman Williams McClure (1865–1955) was an American anatomist and embryologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina. Tropical
Western Central Atlantic: North Carolina, Florida, Caribbean (Bermuda population may be distinct species).
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.2 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 26340)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 19 - 21; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 20 - 21; Vertebre: 33. Lateral line consists of 2 disconnected, elongate portions where the anterior portion overlaps with the anterior end of the ventral portion (Ref. 43469).
Adults inhabit shallow, clear waters with coral or rock bottoms (Ref. 5521). Territorial (Ref. 9710). 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).
