Although specific information on the ecology of this species is lacking, several observations suggests that it potentially may be sponge-dwelling. Small pieces of sponge tissue were found in the tube containing the specimens, and sponge spicules were attached to the ventral side of the shrimps body, including the areas between the mouthparts, pereiopods, and pleopods. Additionally, the presence of
