M. serricornis appears to be one of the most abundant megafauna species in the cold water coral reefs of southern Norway. It has also been observed in association with the gorgonian Acanthogorgia.
M. serricornis was the first species of the current genus Munidopsis to be described, when Sven Lovén described it (as Galathea serricornis) in 1852. It was described independently in 1857 under the name Galathea tridentata by Laurits Esmark.
