Range & habitat
This species is the only triplefin that as an adult lives in intertidal zone habitat. It can be observed in tidal pools and has adapted to survive the changes in temperature, oxygen saturation and levels of water acidity that accompany living in that habitat. The abundance of this fish in tidal pools decreases during the winter months.
