A single individual was found together with Trimma chledophilum at the base of a sloping mud bottom, among pieces of metal wreckage. This species was invariably seen sheltering in a small enclosed 'grotto', either resting on the bottom or hovering a short distance above it. This holotype was the only individual encountered in the area despite 38 hours of diving in the immediate vicinity of this site and possibly the main population inhabits deeper waters farther from shore (Ref. 100512).
