Habitat In sand and boring in coral settlement blocks, at shallow subtidal depths. Ward (1981: 722) points the following: ''The species was found within a coral settlement block which was decalcified. Whether the worm was occupying a previously formed burrow within the block, or is capable of boring is not known. [...] it is possible that this species is a bioeroder.'' [details]
