This species of Ceratophyllidia is rare in the Marshalls, known from nine specimens from Kwajalein Atoll. All were found at night on the seaward reef in ledges and small caves at depths from 13 to 18 meters. At least two were found on and apparently eating an orange sponge. The dorsal balls detach easily if the animal is disturbed. The dark pigmentation in the balls can vary from brown to black.
