Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Benthic; depth range 0 - 24 m (Ref. 349). Tropical; 29°N - 29°S, 33°E - 126°W
Indo-Pacific: from East Africa, India, Sri Lanka, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, east to southeast Asia and Australia, as far east to French Polynesia and north to Japan. Subtropical and tropical.
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 29.0 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 349); common length : 18.0 cm SHL male/unsexed; (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
Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | 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.
