provided by Fishbase
Manifests synchronous hermaphroditism, particularly, differentiation of the ovary is earlier than that of the testis (Ref. 56921).
Trophic Strategy
provided by Fishbase
Occurs along coasts. Abundant in the continental shelf (Ref. 93159). Found over seagrass, sand, mud and rocks (Refs. 2739, 93159) to depths of 100 m (Ref. 93159). Also found in coral reefs (Ref. 122784) and in a lagoon (Ref. 122783). Carnivorous, decapods dominate the diet (Ref. 12382).
