Distribution

This species was described from two specimens collected in deep water (191–223 m) by a submarine at Mutremdiu 3, Palau, Caroline Islands, 07°16′27″N134°34′37″E / 7.27417°N 134.57694°E / 7.27417; 134.57694 (Mutremdiu 3) . [1]

Ecology

Analysis of the stomach contents suggests that this species feeds on a species of the octocoral Paracis Kükenthal, 1919, Family Plexauridae Gray, 1859. [1]
