In India, this species burrows into and through the embankments of paddy fields and salt pans near estuaries. The paddy fields are damaged by the burrows allowing salt water to enter and the crops to wither. It prefers a substrate which consist of a good mixture of sand, silt, and clay. It shows a tidal locomotory rhythm. It comes to the surface of the mud at high tide to feed, when some degree of exposure to the overlying water may occur (Ref. 42330).
