In the 1970s and 1980s, P. carnea was found not uncommonly on the Ocean side
of the Keys, inshore, wherever there was sufficient depth of loose material
to support it. Localities include Boot Key (Marathon), Duck Key and Boca
Chica Key. Not in silty bottom, but facing open water in the typical
calcareous rubble of that environment.
