Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Benthic; depth range 0 - 20 m (Ref. 348). Tropical

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 9.0 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 74338); common length : 5.0 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 348); max. published weight: 210.00 g (Ref. 74338)
Often buried just under the surface of the sandy-muddy substrates near mangrove areas (Ref. 80041). Occurs in mudflats. Abundant shells are present among shell debris in shallow tidal channels within lagoons (Ref. 101158). Deposit-feeder (Ref. 348). Suspension feeder (Ref. 108437).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
