Biology
Adults are found in seaward reefs. Also inhabits shallow, semi-exposed, hard-coral and rock reef with rich algae growth. Oviparous. Like all Blenniidae, the sexes are separate (gonochoristic) and females spawn demersal, adhesive eggs into a nest. The male parent guards the eggs until the larvae hatch. Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters.
