Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 13 - 14; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 13. Thin blue barring or rings near tail along the sides (Ref. 30404).
Inhabits shallow sandy areas among seagrass (Ref. 1602) and in silty lagoons amongst rubble (Ref. 30404). Lives in burrows with alpheid shrimp species with dark bands on back (Ref. 30404). Feeds on small benthic invertebrates (Ref. 89972).

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.32 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
