Mainly used as an ornamental shell (Ref. 348). Found in intertidal reef flats wherein it is attached to its substrate via its small byssus (Ref. 799). It prefers littoral and sublittoral areas, with sand and coral rubble substrates, predominantly in exposed but sometimes protected environments. It is sometimes associated with seagrass (Ref. 104607). The flattish posterior surface of shell lying horizontally just beneath the surface. Sometimes in dense colonies (Ref. 348).
Life cycle and mating behavior

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.
