Könsmognad: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 8.0 cm SHL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 349); common length : 6.0 cm SHL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 349)
Shell turbinate, moderately large, solid and heavy. Spire well-developed, pointed, with a strong convex whorls, angular shoulders. Body whorl biangulate, with stronger spiral cords. Aperture roughly rounded-ovate. Umbilicus closed or reduced to a slight chink. Colouration: Outside of operculum approximately smooth, with oblique marginal grooves, and brown or dark green; aperture mostly orange-yellow (Ref. 128042).
Frequently collected for food locally by coastal people, where abundant. Shell used in shellcraft (Ref. 349). Found in intertidal to 30 m, on rocks (Ref. 75835). Also found in coral reefs (Ref. 128042).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the order Patellogastropoda are mostly gonochoric and broadcast spawners. Life cycle: Embryos develop into planktonic trocophore larvae and later into juvenile veligers before becoming fully grown adults.
