When threatened (e.g., by the approaching ROV), they attempted to hide in or below protective structures. Observed swimming was fast paced in minimal altitude over ground and along the protective structures (Ref. 131551). Knorrn, A.H., L. Beuck, D. Barros-García, L. Fernández-Peralta and A.

Associated with live and/or dead scleractinian corals. Dwells on dense coral rubble. Recorded from temperatures of 9.67 to 11.5°C. Likely an opportunistic feeder, consuming crustaceans and fish based on congener that resides in similar environments (Ref. 131551). Knorrn, A.H., L. Beuck, D. Barros-García, L.
