Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Collected for food and for the large, heavy shell in many areas. Mature shell is traditionally used as a trumpet when the tip of the spire is cut off (Ref. 349). Common on inner reef flats and in shallow water near rocky areas, but frequent also offshore. Occurs at the low tide mark. Fasciolariidae are active predators, feeding on tube worms, vermetid and other molluscs (Ref. 349).
