Main Ref.	López-Jamar, E., G. González and J. Mejuto, 1986
Remarks	Found in estuarine and inshore areas (Ref. 96352). Inhabits muddy bottoms (Refs. 2780, 7882, 96352). Pelagic larvae are present during December, February, and April, whereas settling has been observed in August to October. The settling larvae prefer mud, sand, and high salinities (Ref. 2778). Lives in a spiraled burrow (Ref. 7882). A subsurface deposit-feeder (Refs. 96292, 96352).
