					Minimum depth from Ref. 104052.  Also caught by artisanal fishing gears (spears, hooks, lures, and traps; Ref. 417).  Maximum total length ranges from 120 to 150 cm (Ref. 3722). Found in coralline bottoms (Ref. 417), coral reefs, sandy and rubble bottoms, particularly in subtidal areas (Ref. 83938).				
			
			
			
			
			
				Life cycle and mating behavior

					Members of the class Cephalopoda are gonochoric.  Male and female adults usually die shortly after spawning and brooding, respectively.  Mating behavior:  Males perform various displays to attract potential females for copulation.  During copulation, male grasp the female and inserts the hectocotylus into the female's mantle cavity where fertilization usually occurs.  Life cycle:  Embryos hatch into planktonic stage and live for some time before they grow larger and take up a benthic existence as adults.
