[4] The type specimen was collected in the Gulf of Thailand and is deposited at the Marine Fisheries Division in Bangkok.

In the Andaman Sea, this species occurred in subtidal seagrass beds near the mouth of estuaries lined with mangroves and on sand bars which were interspersed with rocks.

These squids and their relatives have a glue gland on their dorsal body surface that they use to adhere to submerged vegetation and other objects.

Their life cycle is thought to include a juvenile pelagic stage.

The seagrass beds which form an important part of this species habitat are under threat and if, as may be the case, this species extends north to Japan then the seagrass beds there have been severely negatively impacted by human activities.
