marien rifbewoner; diepte 0 - 30 m (Ref. 9626). Tropical; 45°N - 8°N, 99°W - 58°W (Ref. 55370)
Western Atlantic: Florida, USA to Brazil. Larvae are sometimes swept northward which accounts for the sighting of juvenile specimens as far north as Massachusetts, USA during summer months. One record (one specimen, 3 cm) from Musquodoboit Harbor, Nova Scotia, Canada.
