From editor or global species database
Distribution This is a Mediterranean species, however relatively recently it was also reported from the Indian Ocean.
It is not very common and it has only been reported from the subtidal zone to ca. 40 m bsl from sand and
coralligenous and organogenic detritus. In our opinion the Indian Ocean locality of this species needs
confirmation because it lies far outside the typical geographical range of this species. [details]
