Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 11 - 12; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 18 - 19; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 2; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 20 - 22. Body with broad, irregular, dusky bands anteriorly. Males with dusky spot in middle of soft dorsal fin (Ref. 4404).
Adults are known from shallow water with rocky bottom, sometimes in tide pools (Ref. 11441). 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).
