The featureless bottom has numerous burrows occupied by a variety of fishes and invertebrates, including this new species. Fewer than ten individuals were observed on the lower section of the slope (15-18 m ) and only widely scattered, solitary individuals were seen, each of which was invariably associated with a muddy burrow (Ref. 100513).
