This isopod is usually found in deeper water, from approximately 5m, under rocks, where it is highly camouflaged. It is a tan to yellowish in colour, and is covered in bumps and spots, including two distinctive ocelli on its pleotelson. This rear segment is also notable for the four short points on its end. These features help to distinguish it from other sphaeromatid isopods, but it can require a keen eye for detail.
