Pectinaria koreni displays a clear preference for fine sediments: the finer the sediment, the higher the relative occurrence (maximum > 40%). The species is nevertheless also found in sediments with a median grain size up to 500 μm. Although the species occurs in sediments with strongly varying mud contents, P. koreni is not found in sediments characterised by high mud contents or by absence of mud.
