Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Maximum depth from Ref. 801. Occurs on mud, sandy-mud or sandy-grit substrates (Ref. 10), seagrass, mangrove and among shells (Ref. 121467). Prefers marine (adults) and estuarine (juveniles) environments in subtropical and tropical climates (Ref. 8). Forms small shoals. Predominantly nocturnal and buries in substrate during day time (Ref. 10). Postlarvae settle exclusively in seagrass beds (Ref. 84594); Juveniles also seek refuge in seagrass beds (Ref. 106924). Feeds on seagrass (Ref. 84594), diatoms, algae, (Ref. 104907), bivalves, gastropods, ophiuroids, crustaceans and polychaetes (Ref. 104903).
