Comments: Found in <i>Ulocentra</i> habitats of bedrock and gravel pool areas in small creeks to moderate-sized rivers.  Abundant in cool upland streams, but  extends into warm-water habitats in the Conasauga River.  Usually associated with lush growths of <i>Podostemum</i> (a river weed), where its green banding provides good camouflage.  Observed perched high on bedrock profusions with few river weed growth (Ref. 10294).
