Distribution. Western Atlantic— Panama, Martinique, Colombia, Venezuela, Suriname, Brazil (Maranhão, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) (Coelho-Santos & Coelho 1994; Werding et al. 2003; Rodríguez et al. 2005; Coelho et al. 2007; Ferreira & Melo 2016).
Remarks. This species inhabits the intertidal region down to 50 m, on coral reefs and under rocks; found living associated with bryozoans, polychaetes and sponges (Veloso & Melo 1993; Melo 1999; Micheletti-Flores & Negreiros-Fransozo 1999). Most of the specimens in São Paulo were collected with colonies of bryozoan S. errata. One specimen (CCDB 1138) was found associated to a crinoid (Echinodermata). Sequences accession numbers (GenBank): CCDB 2854—16S (HM352468), CCDB 5297—COI (MF490052) (Mantelatto et al. 2011, 2018).
