Range and natural history
It occupies sandy and muddy bottoms in clear island waters, bays and mangrove-lined lagoons. Its food consists of invertebrates. The mix of island and continental coastal habitat is broader than the common assumption that soles occur only on open sandy beaches.
The cited account reports maturity after about two years and larger adult females than males. Those features describe population biology rather than a simple way to identify an individual. Locality and flatfish anatomical characters remain essential when separating it from related soles.
