Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Actively collected by native populations for food, by hand at low tide on the reefs, or by diving. In spite of its weight and considerable size, the shell is favored, especially by tourists, due to the beauty of its heavily glazed aperture (Ref. 349). Found on sand near rocks and corals (Ref. 130068).
