Βιολογία     Γλωσσάρι (π.χ. epibenthic)

Mantle length is 5 cm. The colour pattern advertises strong toxicity, potentially tetradotoxin. Hatchlings are planktonic. Direct handling of this species should be avoided (Ref. 96968).

Life cycle and mating behavior Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Αβγά | Γονιμότητα | Προνύμφες

Members of the class Cephalopoda are gonochoric. Male and female adults usually die shortly after spawning and brooding, respectively. Mating behavior: Males perform various displays to attract potential females for copulation. During copulation, male grasp the female and inserts the hectocotylus into the female's mantle cavity where fertilization usually occurs. Life cycle: Embryos hatch into planktonic stage and live for some time before they grow larger and take up a benthic existence as adults.
