Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino demersale. Tropical
Western Indian Ocean: Red Sea south to Inhambane, Mozambique, and Persian Gulf to Gulf of Kutch. Reported as likely at Seychelles (Ref. 1623) but Randall and van Egmond 1994 (Ref. 10685) believe otherwise.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.8 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 11441)
Spine dorsali (totale): 11 - 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 18-19; Spine anali 2; Raggi anali molli: 20 - 22. Body with broad, irregular, dusky bands anteriorly. Males with dusky spot in middle of soft dorsal fin (Ref. 4404).
Adults are known from shallow water with rocky bottom, sometimes in tide pools (Ref. 11441). 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).
