Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Benthic. Tropical
Indo-West Pacific.
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 4.0 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 348); common length : 2.5 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 348)
Local artisanal exploitation (Ref. 348). In sand and beach slopes in surf zones, migrating between the high and low tide marks with ebb and flow tides. Sometimes abundant. Occurs from low and high tide mark. Found burrowing in exposed sandy beaches (Ref. 125338).

Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
