Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 15.0 cm ShL male/unsexed; (Ref. 356)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

It is found on rocky substrates, tidepools and rock crevices from the lower intertidal to a depth of 40 m (Ref. 87801).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Egg masses are composed of 243 to 256 egg capsules, each capsule containing 668 to 14,250 eggs. The capsules are found attached to a substrate by a stalk. Larva emerges from the egg and remains in the water column for a long period of time before settling (Ref. 87801).
