Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthisk)

Frequently in the Indo-West Pacific for food and shellcraft (Ref. 349). Depth range is based on occurrence in French Polynesia (Ref. 101327); to be replaced with a better reference. Under stones and in crevices of rocky headlands exposed to strong wave action (Ref. 349). Usually found among dark rocks (Ref. 799). Mostly active at night. Mainly inhabits shallow subtidal levels. Occurs at the low tide mark (Ref. 349). Most cypraeids are herbivores (Ref. 113307).

Livscykel och parningsbeteende Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Ägg | Fekunditet | Larver
