Distribution

This marine species occurs in the following locations at depths between 0 m and 1170 m:[2]

  • Caribbean Sea: Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela
  • Gulf of Mexico: East Florida, Louisiana, Texas
  • Atlantic Ocean: North Carolina, West Florida
gollark: I mostly end up with CB nebulae, because sometimes I can't resist picking a few up during hunting.
gollark: ***nebulae***
gollark: What's your naming scheme?
gollark: I have lots of CB coppers, one because fish is very nice and superhuman at egg-getting and most because I catch unbreedables oddly frequently.
gollark: I saw fewer coppers than golds/silvers, but at this sample size it's basically entirely flukes.
