Remarks | Inhabits coastal waters with rock or coral substrates (Ref. 4). On rubble (Ref. 97531). Requires calcareous substrate with algae and gravel (Ref. 81730). Scarce and generally found in reef habitats (Ref. 104228). Coexists with Panulirus argus (Ref. 102863) but little competition is likely to occur between the two (Ref. 104228). In general, palinurids are mainly considered carnivores, usually feeding upon sluggish, easily captured animals where most material is eaten alive or freshly killed (Ref. 105260). |
