Depth range is based on occurrence records in India (Refs. 105071, 105420); to be replaced with a better reference. Found in estuaries on sand (Ref. 105071) and in backwaters (Ref. 105072). Burrows (Ref. 105416). In general, suspension feeding bivalves mainly depend on phytoplankton and detritus material for nutrition (Ref. 107088).
