Its discovery was accidental after being collected with (silty) mud The sediment sample contained agglutinated worm tubes and shells of Atrina chautardi. Live associated fauna comprised a second unidentified fish species and beyond abundant polychaetes, gastropods, bivalves, amphipods and shrimps. A potential burrow-dwelling lifestyle might provide shelter against predators on this relatively flat seafloor lacking any hard substrates (Ref. 130223). Schliewen, U.K., A.H. Knorrn, R. Böhmer, L.
