Record from more than 1000 m depth – ATW - Gulf of Mexico, Alaminos Canyon , 26– 27° N 88– 94° W, 2744– 2190 m depth; amongst Batllymodiolus brooksi; Gulf of Mexico, Atwater Valley , 28° N 88° W GoogleMaps , 2190 m depth amongst Bathymodious brooksi — Bartsch (2011); Gulf of Mexico, Minos Canyon , 26° N 95° W GoogleMaps , 2743 m depth, upper 0–2 cm of undisturbed muddy sediment with the spatangoid sea urchin Sarsiaster griegi ; Gulf of Mexico, Atwater Valley , 28° N 88° W GoogleMaps , 2192 m depth; tubeworms Escarpia lnrninaia, Lamellibrach sp. — Bartsch (2011).

Remarks – This species was collected from gas seep areas of the northern Gulf of Mexico. External characters of this species do not reflect at specialization to a life in gas seep areas and the species is most likely also found outside seep communities ( Bartsch 2011).
