Found in small recesses on rocky reefs and especially along walls. They blend almost perfectly with the background, they often take the markings of tube-worm snails or appear to be encrusting sponges (Ref. 5227). Demersal. Found between the surface to 15 m in depth; rarely until 38 m.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 23.6 - 29.1, mean 27.8 °C (based on 222 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Fec assumed to be > 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
