From Pettibone (1971: 13): ''It appears to have a two-year life cycle. At sexual maturity it forms heteronereids and undergoes a typical swarming periodicity, spawning at the surface. The spent adults die after spawning. The eggs are moderate in size (about 150µ) and demersal, developing into ciliated larvae. Early development presumably takes place in the surface layers of the mud, the larvae being absent from the plankton. Small specimens were found near the surface of the sediment, with large specimens occupying burrows as deep as 40 centimeters.''
