Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 8.0 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 349); common length : 5.0 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 349); max. reported age: 6 years (Ref. 8702)
Commonly collected for food in many areas (Ref. 349). Abundant on sandy bottoms of coral reef areas, among seagrass and coral rubby (Ref. 128042). Found in coastal lagoons, and other protected areas where the bottom is devoid of mud (Ref. 349). Feeds on benthic algae (Ref. 2924).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the order Neotaenioglossa are mostly gonochoric and broadcast spawners. Life cycle: Embryos develop into planktonic trocophore larvae and later into juvenile veligers before becoming fully grown adults.
