Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Benthic; depth range 1 - 15 m (Ref. 99597). Tropical
Central Pacific.
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 10.0 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 349); common length : 7.0 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 349)
Collected mainly for its shell (Ref. 349). Depth range is based on occurrence in French Polynesia (Refs. 99597, 99598); to be replaced with a better reference. Usually inhabits under slabs and rocks, or in gullies and holes of the algal crests (Ref. 349).
