Very rare species, not observated in 10 years old.

The chitons' eight plates differentiate them from all other molluscs. These omnivores spawn grey-green eggs, and fertilization occurs externally. Miniature adults form by sixteenth day.

These chitons are omnivorous. This individual could well have been feeding on the adjacent bryozoan.

Herbivore found on crustose and erect coralline algae, its major food and the source of its pigment. 15 mm long, 10 m deep. Its scraping organ, the radula, contains magnetite, hard enough to scrape the corallines. The chitons are broadcast spawners with external fertilization.
