Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Maximum carapace length: 5.0 cm (female; Ref. 8). Prefers bottom sandy mud (Ref. 8). Also occurs on seagrasses, mudflats, sandflats and mangrove channels. Frequently burrows (Ref. 106912). Feeds on crustaceans, polychaetes, mollusks, fishes, algae and detritus (Ref. 104916).
