Habitat
The adults are usually found in deep waters, from 100-300 m, but can range to depths of 500 m. Young may be found at 10-30 m and possibly in the Laminaria zone. They are normally found on rocky seabeds where they often occupy fissures and holes with only the head protruding, and they may also be found on sand or mud.
