Comments: Benthic (Ref. 58302).  Adults of most <i>Callechelys</i> spend most of their lives within the sediment and do not form permanent burrows.  This species is exceptional and has on rare occasions been dip-netted beneath lights at the sea surface at night and has been seen encountered with its head protruding from the sand by divers at various Hawaiian locations (Ref. 27478).
