Comments: Adults occur solitary (Ref. 90102) usually over sandy areas of reef flats and shallow lagoons.    Small juveniles were found below the upside-down jelly <i>Cassiopea</i> that moves over sandy substrates providing safe travel (Ref. 48636).  Eggs are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114).  Females nest in empty mollusk shells (Ref. 1602).  Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
