Adults found hidden under stones covered with red calcareous algae and empty shells of mussels near Posidonia and Cymodocea nodosa beds. Among Posidonia, the species is often sympatric with Opeatogenys gracilis (Ref. 28715). In one study, specimens were observed from 1.6-6.6-m depths, with 75% found from 3.45 to 4.5 m (Ref. 138341).

Collected in Turkey along the upper infralittoral zone with dense rocky substrates, 1.5 - 2 m, associated with tapeweed Posidonia oceanica; salinity 39.2 ppt, 26.9°C, dissolved oxygen 5.52 mg/L. Previous studies observed juvenile specimens are generally associated with echinoderms, less with P. oceanica meadows, while larger ones prefer empty mussels and stones covered with calcerous algae, also near P. oceanica and C. nodosa beds. This species is sympatric with the seagrass clingfish Opeatogenys gracilis, and can be found at depths (0.2 - rarely below 20 m) where sea urchins (e.g. P. lividus, Arbacia lixula and Sphaerechinus granularis are found. Apparently, abundance of this species decreases with increasing distance from seagrass beds (Ref. 58036). Exhibits a cryptic lifestyle. Dwells in seagrass meadows. Occupies oyster shells including those attached to Pinna nobilis that were overgrown with an epibiota cover. Larger specimens tend to be more present in deeper water, while juveniles were more present in shallow water (Ref. 138341). Bilecenoğlu, M. and M.
