Mainly active at night, crawling out of crevices and boulders, but can also be found in the open during the day. Shallow subtidal waters (Ref. 349); found from low tidal to shallow subtidal, in rock crevices (Ref. 337). Live specimens rarely found in rock-pools and among rocks near low-water mark (Ref. 88739).
