Southwest Atlantic and Southeast Pacific: From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to San Matiás Gulf, Argentina. In the Pacific it is found in Chile. Tropical to subtropical.

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?, range 12 - 13 cm Max length : 27.0 cm DL male/unsexed; (Ref. 83435)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Minimum depth range from Ref. 122063. Lives in shallow waters at maximum depths of 4 m during low tide. Found on sandy subtrates with boulders and sponges. Individuals spend most of their time buried. Females attach their egg capsules to benthic hard substrata such as mollusk shells and/or pebbles (Ref. 122063). Voracious predator on bivalves (Ref. 114777).
