Biologie     Glossaire (ex. epibenthic)

Solitary; lives in dark recesses of rocky habitat; moves on vertical sides of large rocks or on undersides of overhanging rocks with belly very close to substrate and using large pectoral fins; feeds on macro-invertebrates like crustaceans and insect larvae which are found in the slits, cracks, holes and crevices of their habitat (Ref. 7343, 46829). Always observed in shady parts of rocks; might be nocturnal; large eyes may be adaptation for enhanced night vision (Ref. 95525).
