We found two specimens on 24 July 2011 under a small chunk of a loose, partially live faviid coral that was resting in a small depression on the upper seaward reef at a depth of about 6m. The animals measured 11 and 10mm.
Being photographed seemed to have disturbed the animal. It seemed to start to secrete a white mucus from its cerata, then appeared to even drop a couple of cerata in the sticky mass as it crawled away. Possibly an escape response?
