The preferred habitat is rocky or sandy areas with large amounts of algal debris from the low water mark to 20 metres (66 ft) in depth; it can occur in both sheltered and exposed sites.
It is nocturnal and, like species in the genus Chelidonura, it is known to feed on small polychaete worms and acoelomate flatworms, prey is detected using the sensory mounds on either side of the mouth.
The eggs are laid in strings covered in mucus, debris adheres to the mucus strengthening and camouflaging the strings of eggs.
In laboratory conditions the eggs hatch in four days.
The few specimens found in the Mediterranean have been found under stones at 3 metres (9.8 ft) depth and on rocky substrate at 12 metres (39 ft) in depth.
