Distribution The species lives on hard substrates (such as on lithoherm ridges) at depths of , throughout the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. It has been found off the coast of Venezuela, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, and the Lesser Antilles. Biology ''Neocrinus decorus'' are epibenthic and may form aggregations in certain locales.

This species has been observed to crawl across the sea floor The seabed (also known as the seafloor, sea floor, ocean floor, and ocean bottom) is the bottom of the ocean. All floors of the ocean are known as seabeds. The structure of the seabed of the global ocean is governed by plate tectonics. Most of ... using ...
