Ecology of Tagelus dombeii
 
Main Ref. Häussermann, V. and G. Försterra, 2009
Remarks Abundant in sand (Ref. 122296). It is an infaunal species found in tide pools, sandy, pebbly, muddy and clay substrates from the intertidal area to a depth of 37 meters (Ref. 87801). Subtidal (Ref. 122295). Deep burrower (Ref. 122294). Mainly a filter feeder (Ref. 105122), particularly a suspension feeder (Ref. 105121). It can switch to surface deposit-feeding based on food availability (Ref. 105122).
