Benthic; depth range 50 - 850 m (Ref. 881). Tropical; 46°N - 23°S, 119°E - 56°E
Indo-Pacific, Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean: from Taiwan to New Caledonia, north to Italy and east to Reunion Island. Tropical and subtropical.
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm 1.8  range ? - ? cm Max length : 3.4 cm CL male/unsexed; (Ref. 106434); 4 cm CL (female)
Maximum depth from Ref. 97531. Maximum length based on occurrence (Ref. 106434); to be replaced with a better reference. Occurs in the continental shelf (Ref. 122888) and bathyal communities of the upper and middle slope (Refs. 113874, 102666), where it is dominant in the latter (Ref. 102666). Found in muddy and rocky bathyal substrates (Ref. 122889).
