Etymology The specific epithet kaneohe refers to the type locality of the species, Kaneohe Bay (Oahu Island, Hawaii).  [details]

Habitat In sand and boring in coral settlement blocks, at shallow subtidal depths. Ward (1981: 722) points the following: ''The species was found within a coral settlement block which was decalcified. Whether the worm was occupying a previously formed burrow within the block, or is capable of boring is not known. [...] it is possible that this species is a bioeroder.'' [details]

Type locality Pacific Ocean, Hawaii, Oahu Island, Kaneohe Bay, Checker Reef (21º26'31''N, 157º47'41''W), 3 m, sand.  [details]
