Halgerda albocristata is uncommon but not rare at Kwajalein and Enewetak Atolls. Most specimens are found under dead coral on lagoon reefs and pinnacles, but they can occasionally be found on the seaward reef as well. Depths ranged from 3 to 20 meters. Seven measured specimens ranged from 10 to 23mm in length.
The specimen below was photographed at about 4m on a Kwajalein lagoon reef on 1 March 2009.
