Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

One of the most frequently collected Turbinidae in the area, mainly for food. Shell also used as material for making buttons (Ref. 349). Sublittoral zone, in shallow water. Found in exposed areas of coral reefs (Ref. 349). Intertidal to 5 m, seaward on coral reefs (Ref. 75835). Herbivorous and detritus feeder (Ref. 107013).

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

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