This species is commonly found attached to hard substrates in Bermuda lagoonal reefs. It is reported in the Marshall Islands (Cushman et al. 1954) and in the Adriatic by Schultze in his original description. This species is similar to A. mabaheti (Said) reported by Hottinger et al. 1993 from the Gulf of Aquaba, Red Sea. Given the morphological variability of this genus, it is quite possible these are the same species.
