Found from intertidal to immediate subtidal, on rock (Ref. 337). Lives on the upper surface of the rocks and abundant from just above low-water mark down to 2 m or 3 m in Sunday Island, and the shells are covered with coralline and other algae, together with Siphonaria, Elminius, and their youngs (Ref. 88739).
