It lives on rocky bottoms with calm waves, no fresh water inflow, and lush seaweed, or on harder muddy sandy bottoms with large clusters of macrophylla. Its food is small animals and plants, such as foraminifera, gastropods, flexipoda, diatoms, etc. The environmental requirements for living in the sea area are very high.
