Maximum depth from Ref. 97531. Subtidal (Ref. 106854). Found on rocky bottoms and coral reefs (Ref. 83922). Also occur at natural depressions in rock formations (Ref. 126252). General carnivore (Ref. 116259). Feed mainly on small arthropods and other marine invertebrates. Considered as a cleaner shrimp, removing and consuming parasites, injured tissue, and leftover food particles from other reef fishes (Ref. 125532). Dwells in deep crevices and reef overhangs (Ref. 129713).
