is a rare species, with only ten specimens found during extensive rotenone and clove oil collections along the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast. These specimens were collected at depths between 10 and 30 meters. A sample from another expedition (not presented here) was confirmed from 53 meters depth. The species may be more common at similar mesophotic depths, but further collections are needed to confirm this. The specimens collected with clove oil were found on CCA-covered roofs of small caves.

were collected from a single mass sampling at a CCA-covered wall with small crevices and holes. All but one of the specimens analyzed in this study were collected from exposed offshore reefs.
