					Depth based on occurrence (Ref. 2758, p. 805); to be replaced with better reference.  Minimum depth from Ref. 2703. Infaunal, occurs in the infralittoral zone.  Found on sand, sandy-mud or mud.  Prefers well-sorted fine sand (Ref. 82278).  An active suspension feeder (Ref. 96376).				
			
			
			
			
			
			
				
					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.
