Biology:  Depth range based on a locality (Ref. 3113); to be replaced with a better reference. High motile and eurybathic. Common in intertidal and subtidal areas. Associated with epizoic bryozoans; larger isopods had significantly more and diverse bryozoan colonies. Epibiosis, in this relationship, appears to be advantageous (Ref. 117942).
