Habitat. Intertidal, reef flats, seagrass beds, and mangroves, on rocky, sandy, and mud-sand substrates.
Remarks. Buitendijk (1937: 258) noted that the syntypes from Bongao in the southern Philippines have stronger tubercles, greater spination, and different colouration from the specimens collected in Indonesia. The morphological characters and colouration of the specimens in this study agree well with the description of the species from Indonesia by Buitendijk (1937). This species can be difficult to separate from the affiliated Clibanarius striolatus with almost the same morphology and colour pattern (see Poupin et al., 2013).
