Ecology of Xenophora corrugata

Main Ref.	Springsteen, F.J. and F.M. Leobrera, 1986
Remarks	Dredged alive in 30 m near Meyer Island (Ref. 88739). Mostly in rather shallow water (Ref. 107870). Members of the family Xenophoridae feed directly on sediments (Ref. 107881), collecting tiny detritus (Ref. 349) and foraminiferans (Ref. 104247).
