Species' maximum length, and shell height of up to 1.6 cm, from the Belgian part of the North Sea Ref. 7882). Depth based on occurrence (Ref. 2851, p. 719); to be replaced with better reference. Found in fine to muddy substrates, lying directly beneath the surface of the sea floor along the coast. Able to burrow quickly when disturbed (Ref. 7882).
