Ecology. Symbiont of shallow water regular sea urchins. In the western Atlantic recorded from L. variegatus and T. ventricosus (Marciá & Robinson 2009; Tavares et al. 2017; Vera-Caripe et al. 2017).

Distribution. Disjunct circumtropical, being absent from the central and eastern Atlantic, widely distributed in the western Atlantic from Florida south to Bahia, Espírito Santo and Trindade Island, Brazil (Chace 1956; De Grave & Anker 2017; Vera-Caripe et al. 2017; Tavares et al. 2017; Poupin 2018). This is the first record of the species from Bonaire.
