Habitat

Volutes are predators that live in deep waters,
where they stalk and kill other molluscs.
Volutes do not have a free-swimming larval stage.
Their large egg capsules contain enough food
to allow the embryos to develop over several months.
What emerges from these capsules are tiny but fully formed shells.
Volutes tend to spend their life in colonies, and have small home ranges.[2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off New Britain and Western Australia.
