Diet: suspension feeding. Captures minute particles of food on their collars and ingesting them. [details] Distribution: Southern Gaspe waters (Baie des Chaleurs, Gaspe Bay to American, Orphan and Bradelle banks; eastern boundary: Eastern Bradelle Valley), Lower North Shore, and western slope of Newfoundland , including the southern part of the Strait of Belle Isle but excluding the upper 50 m in the area southwest of Newfoundland.

Predators do include littorinid snails and nudibranchs.
