Comments: Found on silty or sandy bottoms (Ref. 27436).  Moves into shallow water at night to feed on marine worms, crustaceans, small bivalves, and brittle stars (Ref. 6885, 27436).  Few live over 5 years (Ref. 6885).  If used live as bait, it attracts large rockfishes, greenlings or codfishes (Ref. 27436).  Flesh considered good but not esteemed (Ref. 27436).
