Könsmognad: Lm ? range ? - ? cm Max length : 29.0 cm SHL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 349); common length : 18.0 cm SHL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 349)
Sexual dimorphism pronounced. Shell of the males usually smaller and with shorter digitations on the outer lip.
Often collected for food by coastal populations, and the shell used in shellcraft (Ref. 349). Maximum depth from Ref. 106336. Occurs at the low tide mark (Ref. 349), intertidal and found on subtidal reef and seagrass (Ref. 98588). It is also found on sand, weeds near corals (Ref. 799), muddy areas (Ref. 97553), reef-flats, coral rubble bottoms or mangrove areas (Ref. 128042). Shallowly burrows in sand or gravel. Grazes on animal matter in the mud. Also predominantly feeds on sand grains, polychaetes, bivalves and small crustaceans (Ref. 97553).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the order Neotaenioglossa are mostly gonochoric and broadcast spawners. Life cycle: Embryos develop into planktonic trocophore larvae and later into juvenile veligers before becoming fully grown adults.
