Écologie
marin récifal; profondeur 1 - 10 m (Ref. 529). Tropical; 25°N - 15°N

Length at first maturity / Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ?, range 4 - ? cm
Max length : 10.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 529)
Épines dorsales (Total): 12; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 13-15; Épines anales 2; Rayons mous anaux: 15 - 16; Vertèbres: 30 - 31. Diagnosis: Dorsal fin XII, 14, membrane attached to caudal fin, with deep notch above last spine, first spine slightly higher than second; anal fin II, 15; pectoral rays 15; pelvic fin I, 4; caudal fin procurrent rays 10-12. Vertebrae 10 + 20. LL, without scales but with scalelike flaps; LL tubes 0-5, canal ends below 7th dorsal ray and caudal-fin base. Lower lip smooth mesially, plicate laterally. Upper lip crenulae 42-54. Gill rakers 23-30. Cephalic pore system complex; midsnout pores present. Cirri, supraorbital 9-22, nasal 7-23; nuchal 31-42, in 2 groups with ventralmost cirri borne on small nuchal flap. Adults with brown body; red spots or narrow lines on snout and around the eye; black iris with yellow-ringed pupil and an outer bright reddish orange ring (Ref. 529).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Benthic in coral and rock (Ref. 58302). The most common blenny on shallow reefs. Adults feed on benthic algae and detritus (Ref. 3921). 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).
Oviparous, distinct pairing (Ref. 205). Urogenital orifice of male genital papilla located basally between 2 closely appressed slender filaments on a fleshy swelling behind anus; testes bulbous with length equal its width (Ref. 529).
