Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 15-16; Spine anali 2; Raggi anali molli: 16 - 18; Vertebre: 34
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Adults inhabit the rocky intertidal zone of sheltered and exposed shores. Males occupy tightly fitting bore holes in the rocks. Females were never seen in such holes except when spawning (Ref. 11117). 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).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00335 - 0.01640), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
