Comments: This species is often found among the mangrove roots that grow over shallow seagrass
  beds.  The colors of <i>H. maya</i> and the tunicate, <i>Clavelina puerto-secensis</i>, (growing on mangrove roots) are quite similar and perhaps this hamlet has evolved camouflage coloration against this tunicate.  It has also been observed on several occasions that this species attacks small silversides (<i>Jenkinsia lamprotaenia</i>) which form diurnal aggregations among the mangrove roots (Ref. 88139).
