Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?, range 4 - 7.86 cm Max length : 50.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 4); common length : 35.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 4)
It has a maximum total body length of 50 cm, but usually much smaller (30 to 35 cm) (Ref. 4). It is found in shallow, sometimes slightly turbid coastal waters, from 1 to 8 m depth, with a record of 50 m deep. It inhabits sandy and muddy substrates, sometimes on rocky bottoms, often near the mouth of rivers, but also on coral reefs (Ref. 4). Subtidal (Ref. 106854). Juveniles occur in holes and crevices which are partially covered by seagrass or macroalgae (Ref. 106919). It is solitary, may live in pairs and has been found in larger concentrations (Ref. 4). Omnivore (Ref. 116259).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the order Decapoda are mostly gonochoric. Mating behavior: Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer.
