A non-homing limpet. Migrates to upper shore levels in winter (Ref. 127113). A fouling species attached to raft frames in mariculture zones (Ref. 127121).

Association remarks Co-occur with another limpet Patelloida saccharina in rocky intertidal shores in Hong Kong. This can be attributed to their similar methods of feeding (Ref. 127113).
