Only occurs in Southern Australia. Lives from the intertidal zone to the deep reef, but they prefer shallow waters, near the intertidal rocky seabed. At dawn or dusk they start to prey on sponges, foraminifera, algae and small crustaceans. Quite a rare species especially large specimens in good quality.
