Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: circular.
Found on sand near patch reefs, usually in 5 m but to at least 15 m (Ref. 9710). Found in burrows with alpheid shrimps (Ref. 2334). Two individuals sometimes share a burrow, and these may be one of each color (Ref. 9360). Occurs in clear coastal and inner reef sand slopes, in small colonies in depth of 6-20 meters (Ref. 48637).
