Ecology of Psilotris laetarii
 
Main Ref. Tornabene, L., J.L. Van Tassel, D.R. Robertson and C.C. Baldwin, 2016
Remarks Collected from a sand and rubble (ca. 0.5-10.0 cm in diameter) substrate, 45-90 m from the gradual reef drop-off. Found in or near burrows of yellowhead jawfish (Opistognathus aurifrons) at depths of 8.5 m. Although not a common species, this species is regularly seen from April to November, which is when jawfish are abundant (Ref. 113825).
