Western Atlantic: from Martha’s Vineyard to the Gulf of Mexico , Caribbean Sea to off Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil . Depth: 180 to 2322 m . Color. See Lemaitre (2004). Remarks. This species, the adults of which typically live symbiotically with the large actinian Sagartia consors (Verrill) , has not been previously recorded south of the coast of French Guiana . Thus, this report extends significantly the southernmost range of this species from about 7°06’N to 4°36’S off the coast of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil .
