Adults are commonly found in clumps of oysters on mangrove roots and sea walls. Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
Oviparous, distinct pairing (Ref. 205). Nests are found mostly in oyster shells (Ref. 58432).
