Rare and small, thus little is known. Distribution from south and western Norway south to the English channel. Male guards eggs in empty seashells. I have found this species as shallow as 2m. Previous records estimate normal depth to be 30-375. Theese results have however been obtained by grab, and thus have not been used shallower than 10-15m. Depth distribution can also be a seasonal factor since all the grab findings all were during winter. Probably more common than first exspected, due to its limited size it has probably been overlooked. |
