Adults occur in rocky reefs. Appear to feed nocturnally, and usually found swimming upside down in caves or under ledges during the day. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). Males carry the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Males may be brooding at 6.3 cm SL.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 14.9 - 22.8, mean 17.7 °C (based on 323 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
