What was the habitat?

Coastal Rocks
They seem to be very active in the evening after sun down among the rocks along the shore.

Not sure
Habitat is right for Petrobius brevistylus but I don't see the horizontally elongated ocelli it should have.(1)

image added
Could the elongated ocelli refer to the pink bar in the center of the added image?

Not sure of size but they were not small. I try to find them next summer and check.
