Max length : 18.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3397); common length : 11.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3397); Età massima riportata: 8 anni (Ref. 4742)
Dark spot on caudal peduncle and front end of dorsal fin (Ref. 35388).
On rocky, weed-covered shores (1-50 m); larger specimens deeper than young. Feed on bryozoans, crustaceans and gastropods (Ref. 3397). Spawning takes place in summer when the male defends a territory (Ref. 35388). Used in salmon culture as cleaner fish (Helmut Tethmeyer, pers. comm.).
