Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm 7.2 range ? - ? cm Max length : 21.5 cm CL male/unsexed; (Ref. 435)
Maximum depth from Ref. 106053. In bathyal oceanic communities (Ref. 96584). Occurs at depths from 10 to 1000 m, common at depths of 80 to 350 m (Ref. 435). Deep-water species, recorded down to 1212 m. Found in the shelf (Ref. 105470), upper and middle slope (Ref. 96584). where it is abundant in the latter (Ref. 96584). Prefers intermixed bathyal mud and emerging rocky substrates. Reported to be among cold-water coral community, specifically on coral mounds and coral habitats on muddy bottoms (Ref. 96584). Also found on seamounts (Ref. 122979). Carries a sponge on its back with its fifth pereiopods. Predator of benthic decapods (Ref. 96584) and an active scavenger (Refs. 96584, 106053).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the order Decapoda are mostly gonochoric. Mating behavior: Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer.
