Ecology of Acanthocardia echinata

Main Ref.	Zenetos, A., E. Vardala-Theodorou and C. Alexandrakis, 2005
Remarks	Exists at the front (Ref. 122115). Inhabits fine sand (Ref. 106083). Common in sandy-muddy deposits (Ref. 105826). Found in an estuary (Ref. 105814) and associated with coralligenous formations (Ref. 122117). Abundant in detritic bottoms (Ref. 122133). This is a sessile-burrower suspension feeder (Ref. 96498). Feeds on phytoplankton and suspended organic material (Ref. 106986).
