Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 83 - 84; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 0; Spine anali 1; Raggi anali molli: 32 - 38. Caudal rounded. Pectorals small.
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Intertidal (Ref. 31184), commonly found in rockweed (Fucus) masses, in tide pools and inshore areas. May remain out of water under rocks or seaweed (Ref. 31184). Feeds on small crustaceans and mollusks. Breathes air (Ref. 31184) and can stay out of water for 5-20 hours if kept moist (Ref. 51276).
