They occur in pairs and their burrows may be situated in coral rock or sand. Monogamous (Ref. 52884). Adults feed on zooplankton (Ref. 89972). They tend to form large, though diffuse, colonies; may be due to a propensity to aggregate or may be a result of the ecological requirements for the species (for which type of substratum, current pattern, and water depth among the most important) which restrict the areas of settlement of the postlarvae.
