Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 6 m (Ref. 9710), usually 0 - 3 m (Ref. 13628). Tropical; 32°N - 7°N, 92°W - 59°W

Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 7251)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 14 - 15; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 17; Vertebre: 34. Olivaceous with 7 short dark brown double bars on side of body and rows of small pale blue spots (Ref. 13442).
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Adults occur in intertidal areas (Ref. 31184), like tide pools, rocky slopes, and places where there are boulders on the bottom (Ref. 5521). Actively shuttle back and forth between rock-pools and air (Ref. 31184). They breathe air (Ref. 31184) and can remain out of water for up to 2 hours if kept moist (Ref. 51276). Feed mainly on algae (Ref. 13442). 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).
