Lives in rocky, boulder strewn areas and walls. Lurks in holes, crevices and dark recesses during day; forage in the open at night. Constantly opens and closes its mouth--an action required for respiration, not a threat (Ref. 5227). May occasionally wander into open sandy areas about 10-20 m from cover. Feeds mainly on crustaceans and fishes and are highly responsive to stimuli emanating from wounded or distressed prey at distances exceeding 20 m (Ref. 28023).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.7 - 28.5, mean 25.8 °C (based on 34 cells).

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00047 (0.00025 - 0.00089), b=3.28 (3.13 - 3.43), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.67 se; based on food items.

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179): Zeer laag, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd meer dan 14 jaar (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).

Prijsklasse (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 21.6 [11.2, 36.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.386 [0.224, 0.876] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [16.6, 21.4] %; Omega3 = 0.0912 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 48.6 [25.3, 96.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 48.7 [13.4, 165.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.84 [0.59, 1.18] mg/100g (wet weight);
