Short description Morfologi

Description: Shell has 3 whorls; chocolate brown with iridescent gold spiral ridges; the inner edge of the empty shell is iridescent blue. The foot regularly discharges a mucous layer on the shell which apparently makes the animal more difficult for predators to grasp (Ref. 312).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

It has a shell size of 3 cm (Ref. 312). Occurs in low intertidal to subtidal levels (Ref. 312). Commonly found in rocky areas and kelp beds (Ref. 95344). Omnivorous, feeding on hydroids, detritus and diatoms (Ref. 312).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
