Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm Max length : 15.0 cm CW male/unsexed; (Ref. 101376)
Minimum depth range from Ref. 101314. In shallow waters. Inhabits rocks, coral reefs (Ref. 101314), rubble (Ref. 97531). Nocturnal (Ref. 101376). Feeds on mollusks and crustaceans (Ref. 112911).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Mating: The male initiates mating by displaying an upsidedown position, waving its chelae and legs, to attract the female. Afterwards, the female crawles on top of the male. The male cradles the female with its legs. The couple then turns over, the male assumes the superior position and the female the lower, inverted position. The female has its telson opened, curved over that of the male and barely reaching the posterior margin of the male's carapace. Coupling lasts for 2 days, the male dies afterwards.
