The first snow snail may exist from near the low tide line to the seafloor at a depth of 80 meters. But most are intertidal between rocky reefs.
Afraid of strong light, the snail lurks under coral caves or rocks during the day and goes out to forage at dawn or dusk, making it a carnivorous species.
It feeds on sponges , foraminifera , algae , corals , and small crustaceans.
