Depth: 0–173 m, mostly between the first few meters and 50 m deep ( Pérez-Ruzafa et al. 1992a); also found in tide-pools ( AZO; Wirtz 2009).

Habitat: soft sediments buried in muddy sand or gravel, and amongst Zostera and Caulerpa and in sandy tide pools ( Picton 1993, Pérez-Ruzafa et al. 1992a).

Larval stage: Planktotrophic, hermaphroditic ( Mortensen 1927 a, McEdward & Miner 2001).
