Issue
Occurrence outside the distributional range needs correct identification to determine to which species these are referring to.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ekologi
marina revassocierade; djupintervall 0 - 10 m (Ref. 100374). Tropical
Western Indian Ocean: restricted to the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
Size / Vikt / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 11.5 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. )
Common in tide pools near reefs and in shallow reef areas. Skin near dorsal and ventral ridge can be inflated, e.g. during territorial display among males (Ref. 557). Maximum length from S. Bogorodsky [(8.9 cm SL, 11.5 cm TL, collected specimens not exceeding 10 cm TL), pers.comm 04/2023].
