Maturity: Lm 17.5, range 15 - 20 cm
Max length : 45.0 cm SL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 4742); common length : 40.0 cm SL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 4742); μεγ. αναφερόμενη ηλικία: 17 έτη (Ref. 4742)
Adults are found around rocks and seaweeds. Sometime schooling, more solitary when older. Feed on sea urchins, ophiuroids, mollusks, crabs and worms. They reach maturity when 2 years old (15-20 cm). Spawn during February to May in western Mediterranean (Ref. 4742). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Males build dish shaped nests and guard the eggs (Ref. 205).
