A slightly darker brown band runs through the light brown ground. The belly is mostly white, but there is a faint brown belt on the back. The base of the water pipe groove is brown.
It hides under rocks and in shadows. Inhabits lower than the intertidal zone submerged in seawater.
I found a shell on the shore of Arasaki. It had a beautiful, glossy shell.
