Common around rocky reefs and along continental coasts (Ref. 9276). Feeds on sea urchins, small crustaceans and mollusks, often blowing into sand to uncover prey or turn over urchins (Ref. 5227).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Riproduzione | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larve

Females are territorial, solely tending and guarding the eggs (Ref. 116451). Males exhibit polygyny (Ref. 116451).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 19.2 - 23.1, mean 22.3 °C (based on 8 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02570 (0.01232 - 0.05364), b=2.94 (2.77 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.35 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 38.8 [16.1, 92.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.572 [0.297, 1.272] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [16.3, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.107 [0.054, 0.207] g/100g; Selenium = 34.1 [18.1, 70.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 50 [14, 174] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.02 [0.70, 1.52] mg/100g (wet weight);
