It is found on pneumatophores and roots of Avicennia marina (Ref. 107904). Active during low tide, but many are observed at high tide moving to mangrove roots above water level.

Feeds on mainly on macroalgae, a bit of mangrove leaves and mud; animal items were rare but may be an opportunistic feeder to a certain degree (Ref. 108401).
