Info

Echinocardium cordatum (Pennant, 1777)

Depending on the temperature, the species digs a few centimetres to about 20 cm deep into the Sediment.

Occurs in sediments with a wide range of grain sizes (median grain size up to 650 μm), but clearly prefers sediments with a median grain size of 200 to 300 μm

Depth range 0 - 230 meters

Deposit feeder
