Distribution In hollows in pools and crevices in the intertidal zone, also sublittoral to about 30 m depth, on stony ground and burrowing in the lithothamnion gravel (maerl). Once common in western Ireland, from Cork to Donegal, now depleted by commercial harvesting; very rare in Devon, Cornwall and the Islec of Scilly, occaional in the Channel Islannds, rare in western Scotland, around Skye and the smaller islands nearby [details]
