Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 3 - 5; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 29 - 34; Spine anali: 1 - 2; Raggi anali molli: 19 - 20; Vertebre: 24. Preopercular serrae 30-58. H. cuniculus is variable in coloration, ranging from pale olive brown to yellowish or light greenish or a mixture with some geographic variation (Ref. 37816). Greatest depth of body 5.1-6.3 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Inhabits muddy to rubble or rubble-sand areas of outer reef slopes. Observed a meter above the substrate and retreats to a burrow when threatened. Stomach contents consist of calanoid copepods (58% by volume), larvaceans (20%), siphonophores (20%), and fish eggs (2%) (Ref. 8991). Sometimes in loose groups (Ref. 48635).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Riproduzione | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larve

Displays obligate monogamy where a one-to-one pair is established irrespective of resource abundance (Ref. 52884).
