Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Can be exposed to salinities of 16 to 48 ppt, with low tolerance in higher saline areas (Ref. 113573). Carries leaves into its burrow, allowing them to decay for several weeks before consuming. Consumes decayed leaves of Ceriops tagal much more than fresh and senescent leaves (Ref. 114268).
