Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Combination depth range: min from literature (Ref. 109264), max from estimate. Inhabits rocky coasts in intertidal zones, usually in high-energy environments. Known to exhibit 'homing' behavior, moving in search of shelter during the day and foraging at night (Ref. 355).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the order Neritopsina are mostly gonochoric and broadcast spawners. Life cycle: Embryos develop into planktonic trocophore larvae and later into juvenile veligers before becoming fully grown adults.
