Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Könsmognad: Lm ? range ? - ? cm Max length : 14.0 cm ShH hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 349); common length : 9.0 cm SHL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 349)
Length based on occurrence record; to be replaced with better reference. Common on exposed sand flats and close to dead coral areas. Shallow subtidal zones. Feed on sea urchins of the "sand dollar" group. Egg capsules forming an irregular mass which is the result of several females spawning together (Ref. 349).
Life cycle and mating behavior
