Eastern Atlantic: Faeroes, Vesterålen (Norway), and western Baltic to north-west Spain, excluding south-eastern North Sea. Reported from Estonia (Ref. 33247). Mediterranean reports, from Sicily and the Adriatic, require confirmation (Ref. 13729).
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 4696); Età massima riportata: 2.00 anni (Ref. 35388)
Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 7. Black spot on each side of the caudal peduncle. Males with a second similar spot behind each pectoral fin (Ref. 35388); eyes situated laterally; fully scaled; possess functioning suckers; caudal fins slightly notched (Ref. 92840).
Suprabenthic (Ref. 92840). Found inshore in groups around over-grown structures and among Laminaria or Zostera beds. Adults feed on small crustaceans (copepods, amphipods, mysids) and chaetognaths (Ref. 4696). Eggs are about 1 mm long, pear-shaped, and adhere to seagrass or weeds; hatch in 10 days (Ref. 4696). Pelagic larvae hatch at 2.5 mm length (Ref. 35388).
Repeat spawners (Ref. 4696). Eggs are found inside hollow Sacchoriza holdfasts or other smooth substrates (Ref. 4696). Nests of care-giving males contain eggs from several females (Ref. 115238).
