Indo-West Pacific: probably from Madagascar to the Philippines; north to China and south to northern Australia. Note that the exact distribution is not known because of persistent confusion with other species.
Length at first maturity / Μέγεθος / Weight / Age
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 5.0 cm SHL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Αναφ. 348); common length : 4.0 cm SHL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Αναφ. 348)
Often occurring gregariously, both on hard and soft substrates, and producing large quantities of byssal threads that generally enclose various small hard objects. Littoral and sublittoral to a depth of about 30 m (Ref. 348).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae
Members of the class Bivalvia are mostly gonochoric, some are protandric hermaphrodites. Life cycle: Embryos develop into free-swimming trocophore larvae, succeeded by the bivalve veliger, resembling a miniature clam.
